Default Headlights stopped working....

When I went to leave work yesterday, my headlights were not working. Whether I put the car in auto or manually turn on the lights, the dash lights up along with taillights, but the headlights don't work. The IBM's will work, but the low beams won't light up. I checked the fuses for the low beams, and I also tried replacing the relay for the low beams. I would find it very hard to believe that both headlights burned out at the same time. Any ideas where to check next?

I've read of 'common' issue where failure in fuse box causes low beam failure. I saw this 6 months ago when researching my purchase and there were a couple solutions. GM warranty solution was to replace fuse box with unit that will eventually do the same thing...and some guys had written up DIY solution. Wish I had a link....but you are not alone!
