New bulbs. There are two filaments in each bulb. Left hi beam filament is out, and right lo beam filament is out.

good luck

Make sure you have the correct bulbs for your car. Check bulb filaments for continuity w/ VOM. Next check contacts in bulb connector for 12V when lights are switched on. It's possible you have a burnt damaged connector or lot's of dirt in connector.

Wiring fault is possible, but less likely.

good luck
