Default Lights just went out

Title explains all. I was driving back to my house and my lights just turned off, no warning nothing, right as i went down my street. Thank god i wasnt on a busy intersection when this hapened or in a urban area with out lighting. I checked my fuse boxes and i didnt see anything wrong. Checked my bulbs and they are both good. If it helps any, ive been driving high beams only as my low beams werent working for the longest time as well. And now, i no longer have lights[]. Any idea what could be wrong?

My '99 did that when I hit a bump in the road. I grabbed the dimmer arm to try for brights and got them and went back to the dims and got them, too. I worked the dimmer switch to try to make it do it again, but it didn't, even though it looked shaky a few times. Looks like the switch is the problem. They will make all the lights do fummy things.

Wish i could help... cant think of anything other than both of your bulbs blew at the same time..

Do you still have dash lights?

could be alot of things, replace the bulbs anyway... check connections, check fuses engine bay and interior, then if that doesnt work something is wrong with your cut on switch - that will be fun to fix
