So, last night they stopped firing up. Can hear the click when I turn on the lights, checked all the connections and fuses anything else I can check in the driveway?

Have a soccer game in way out of town and would REALLY like to avoid driving with the highs on until tomorrow.

You probably already tried this, but try turning them off, then on again, with the engine already running.

You can try swapping the bulbs from left/right, and see if the bulb is toast or if its the ignitor/ballast.

Yeah tried the on off thing and swapping bulbs. Neither light fires and unfortunately I dont have someone to hit the hit the lights to see if they flick at all. When started the car with the FOB I didnt see a flicker in either bulb.

It sounds like the ballasts but it's rare they both go out at the same time.

Check your fusebox for the main front low beam headlight fuse. pull it and check.
