Check the fuses and bulbs. The year, make and model vehicle info would help.

You could have a fault stalk switch, a wiring fault, or a defective high beam relay. If the high beam circuit is fused separately, it could also be a fuse.

If you do not have low-beam headlights always drive with what?

All vehicles are required to have low- and high-beam headlamps. If your low-beam headlamps both fail after dark, try switching to high beam. If the high beams don't work either, switch on the emergency flashers. In either case, get the car out of traffic and off the road as quickly as safely possible.

It is very likely the bulb. The low beam gets much more use and most often fails first.
