Possibly the headlight switch itself, they are known to be problematic since they run VERY hot. Could be a loose wire off the switch as well. You should be able to trouble shoot the switch with a multi meter. Pop it out and see what you can see.

That would be a great place to start, from there I would go out to the power distribution center and check.

Fuses? Common check...

Relays? Swap relays with something else. I've seen them fail too.

Bulbs? I've actually lost 2 bulbs at the same time really rare but it does happen...

Switch good? Can be tested at the relay to see if the signal is present.

i would check bulbs, had a 2 gen dakota and for whatever reason there must have been a short or something and blew both bulbs at the same time. i racked my brain tryin to figure it out. then my wife came out and asked if i tried the bulbs, i laughed, then cause she was right......
