Strangely enough both my headlights failed on the same trip. High and low beams. They were the high power bulbs that I use with the relay. I put in the old low power bulbs and they worked. Odd.

Easy fix is to just connect the grounds at the lights using a ring terminal under one of the screws holding the light bracket to the body.
