Both headlamps same tine?

This morning I received a warning to check the pass headlamp. i happened to be behind a pickup truck and I could see my reflection on the tailgate. So I closed in a bit, tried the switch a few times and realized both headlamps were out. I confirmed this later in the parking lot at work.
Before I go out and replace the bulbs, can anyone tell me the fuse number for the headlamps? Are they by themselves?
Thank You all,
Mike

Fuse chart attached below. There are no fuses for the headlamps. You will find one for the "Headlamp Flasher" but I think that is for the high beams, as well as one for the "Headlamp Range Adjustment" for those vehicles with bi-xenon headlamps...

That said, I have always bought my headlamp bulbs in pairs simply because they are both designed and manufactured to run for the same number of hours, which would then imply that when one goes out, the other is sure to follow soon thereafter. The fact that both of yours happen to go out simultaneously might seem like a fluke, when in fact, it actually follows the expected norm.

At least, that is my theory...

Yep -
My left went out shortly after my right . Rock auto has cheap h7 bulbs - helps to have small hands to get in there to replace them - so you might want to call
