Default 04 Pacific - low beams not working

2004 Pacifica - Both of my low beams stopped working at the same time the other day. They didn't turn off on me, just didn't come on the next time I turned the headlights on.

Two days later, the right low beam light worked but the very next day it stopped working again. From that, I guessing the problem isn't with the low beam bulbs or the fuses.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I would check the connecting plugs to the headlight housing, build-ups in the contacts can sometimes stop current flow. Use a volt-meter and trace back from there if you don't have a reading.

Check the bulbs first. May sound odd but it could still be the bulbs. A filament can break but then re-connect if jarred and work again for a short time.

Problem solved: Believe it or not the problem was with the headlight bulbs. In the right headlight assembly, I switched the low beam bulb and the high beam and presto...they both worked. So I switch them back and the low beam bulb has been working ever since. However, the left low beam bulb was indeed blown. I replaced it tonight and it works. I not sure why the right bulb went out at the exact same time as the left and then the right came back on for a day and then out again. Seems weird but at least they're working again.....for now. Thanks for the replies for advice.
