The left and right low beams are powered from separate sources (left from right SAM, right from left SAM), so I would think that the most likely single point of failure for both would be the dimmer switch.

I’ve found out that headlights especially the low beam is very finicky. If it’s not put in correctly it will not work. I’ve found this out about all of the bulbs. There’s no wires to connect like regular bulbs so it has to be seated just right. I purchased a low beam from the parts store and attempted to changed it right there. Nothing. I started to return it thinking that the bulb was defective, but I finally got it to work after playing with it for a minute. The same with changing my rear turning signal. It’s a simple job but; Damn those Germans. They never make anything easy. Lol.
