Don't drive at night. Seriously, check the fuses. Headlights usually have their own dedicated fuse that is not on the fuse panel, but instead is usually under the hood inline in the wires running to the lights. Check the owners manual for specific details for your car. It's also possible that both bulbs are burnt out, but that would be unlikely if they both went out at the same time.
if both headlights went put it is probably a blown fuse
fuse
Check the Fuse and/ or relay.
Check your fuses.
sounds like you have a blowen fuse
If both headlights went out at the same time it could be a blown fuse or a failed headlight relay.
The correct grammar would be "Why would both of your headlights blow out at the same time".
The taillights are supposed to go on when the headlights are activated.
Yes both headlights can burn out at the same time, I had it happen once, it is rare. If both high and low beams are out, then I would think that it might be the switch. You could get a cheap test light and check the plug to see if there is current to the lights.
The headlights of a Ford Windstar may have problems going on if they are burnt out or if there is a wiring problem. Blowing a headlight fuse will also lead to both lights not working.
Bulbs burnt out? Bad hi-low beam switch? Voltage spike?
Sounds like the high beams are burnt out. Rare that both burnt out at the same time but not impossible.
