never heard of both high beams going out at the same time, but when your high beams go, it usually means that your high beam in the bulb has burnt out, what are u driving, in the newer cars, there is a relay in the engine compartment, in the big fuse block, it'll state 'high beams'   I would pull a bulb first... do u know how to see if a bulb is bad?

I would say if the indicator is coming on you may need new bulbs. Take a test light and check for power at the bulb

perhaps relay went bad(wearing black hat).
unlikely both filaments went at the same time.

I had one hi beam on one side of the car and on the other side a low beam. Dealer had never seen any thing like it so after a hundred bucks.They changed out both the bulbs all was fine after that later on a mechanic friend says water in the electrical cause's strange prob like that (no more swimming for my kick)

ignore all this- i looked thru my manual(chilton's p.o.s.) and see no reference to relays.
you have checked fuses?
ignore the black hat.

   Check a manual for the wiring diagram or follow the wire along it,s course if you can,t get to a manual.It could be anywhere from the fuse box,the switch,or a fault in the wiring in between.My ber is on the switch,but I am usualy full of shit.

Obscure joke.  Never mind.  Not helpful.

If it's a Canadian vehicle then it could be the daylight running light module.  I had to replace two.  When mine broke the first time the wasn't any high beams and the second time the wasn't any headlights at all.
