Could be a number of things... like do they just quit when ur going down the road... when the wiring gets hot the switch that turns the light on and off has a fuse, something like a house, when it gets to hot it will kick off and when cool down it will come on, could be a bad switch, or a problem in the wiring... if it just wont come on could be ground, switch, or dimmer switch.

It's rare its a bad fuse,headlight switch,or wiring inless you smelled or seen smoke coming from the dash area. If you did then you have a short in the wiring or a bad headlight switch- every time i have fixed this kind of problem it has only been the high beam / low beam switch. Locate the high/low switch, most are on the sterring column under the dash. Ford trucks are left side of the floor board. Pull the (3) wire harness out the switch. Get a jumper wire and connect to the center of the harness to either side of the harness- one side will be high beam the other will be low beam,then turn on your headlight switch and test.... the headlights should turn on. note: do not leave jumper wire its just a test - turn off the headlight switch,replace the high/low beam switch and plug your harness and your done.

Why did both headlights on my2006 hyundia sonata stop working at the same time?

check your fuses. that is the most likely cause. My son had the same problem with a 1998 sonata. Fuses were fine. Apparently, the wire bundle carrying the wire for the headlights was pinched between the battery and the fuse box under the hood. His battery holder wasn't holding the battery tight and it moved towards this wire and pinched it. Once that wiring bundle was moved above the battery, then the headlights worked!
