Exclamation '07 Mazda 3i Headlights DOA

Started my '07 Mazda 3i yesterday and the low beam headlights died about ten seconds after turning them on. I've checked all the fuses and they are all OK. High beams and marker/turn signal lights are OK.
Any ideas out there?
I should mention that I drive with my low beams on even during the day - hopefully that didn't contribute to this problem!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Don't want to take it to the dealer if I can help it.
One last thing - any recommendations for a good service/tech manual for this car?
Thanks.

Well it just sounds like your low beam bulbs are burnt. You can replace them yourself easily and you can get bulbs for about $30 at local auto stores. Also, you can get service manuals there. Although, I've had a hard time finding them in stock.

Good luck!

Turns out that's all it was. I just can't believe they both went out at exactly the same time! Every other vehicle I've ever had, the headlights would go out one at a time. Wow, you learn something every day!
