Your daytime running lights in my 2000 Tahoe went out how do you repair them?

I am not familiar with the Tahoe but when both headlights go out on any car at the same time it is not usually not that both bulbs burned out at the same time. Usually something happened to the electricity. First you check for a fuse. Information about the fuse box will be in the owner's manual. Next, you check the switch to see if it has electricity coming out of it. If you have electricity leading from the light switch to the running lights, then you check to see if you have electricity going into the running lights. If you do, you have burned out bulbs or a bad socket. Otherwise, you have a bad wire.
