Default Head Lights don't work :(

I need advice, help, anything that can help me fix this problem. Hopefully cheaper means.

On a rainny day. Both my head lights stopped working. It was working 3 hours earlier to that point. I checked all the fuses in the relay box by the engine and under the dash board; none of the fuses were burnt.

My high beams work fine, along with my low beams. I don;t know whats with the head lights.

I am a broke college student and this is my first car, so I cannot afford to take it to a garage, and i need to inspect my car soon
So, please help!!

2000 Hyundai Tiburon, Stick Shift.

Thank you!!!

the head lights dont work.

I am using the wrong name??
-high beams are the ones which we flash to the up coming traffic signaling that there is a cop ahead.

-low beams are the lights that you barely use, may be in the parking lot or something. not sure why its even there.

-the head lights are the ones we use most of the time, when its raining, when its dark...

am i mistaken?

You are a little mistaken. Headlights is a general term. Headlights include both the high beams and low beams. Low beams are the lights you use to drive with in the dark. What you are calling low beams are the amber colored parking (aka marker) lights.

I'd check the bulbs first. Make sure both are working correctly. And check to see if you are getting power to the bulbs.

My guess is both bulbs did not go at once. One probably died a while ago but you just didn't notice until the other one went and you had zero light. Glad you fixed it.

Default Low beam on one side won't work.

Hi,
Hopefully someone can resolve my issue. My 2005 Santa Fe right side low beam is not working. The brights work, I have replaced the bulb and still the same problem. I then went to the fuse boxes checked both the fuse and relay and just for safety, switched them out, still no low beam. So I have replaced all fuses and the bulb with no success. What could possibly be causing the problem. The left side works perfect, low/ high beams.
