I have known both headlights to go together.Noticed that the headlights aren't working. I expect it is the switch. It usually is. They still come on with the flash function on the other stalk, and they've both gone together which means that it isn't bulbs or an individual bit of dodgy wiring.
I know some of you prefer to modify the wiring so the stalk switch merely operates a relay or two, so the switch itself doesn't take the full current. However the switches last just long enough to dissuade me. If it was every year, I'd probably do so, but as they last about four years apiece I've not got round to it.
Can be the sudden surge that one going can cause in the other or simply the old bathtub curve.It fooled me when it happened on our BX. I too didn't think it could be the bulbs so the wife took it to a garage, who simply put new ones in. You do not forget such ignominy!!!
