Low beams and high beams are usually a different bulb or a different filament in the headlight. The low beams tend to burn out first, because they are used more. This is just a suggestion to consider, not a diagnosis. You may want to consider taking the vehicle in for an inspection.

Please keep us posted.

Have a great day!

Are the low beams out in both daytime running light mode and manual low beam operation or both?

to check the dtl operation make sure its in bright daylight, the car is running, in drive with the e-brake off.
