Headlights both out at same time

2007 Fit. We had both of our headlights go out at the same exact time. The dashboard lights are staying illuminated when the car key is in. But the headlights won’t go on. Highbeams will not go on. The signal switch doesn’t seem loose. I checked the fuses. Checked the bulbs. Has this happened to anyone. We did have to jump the car but that was a good two months ago. I have heard some times when the battery is changed or car gets jumped weird things happen. HELP PLEASE

Yes it happened to me, replaced both bulbs, and all came back on 2007 Fit Sport. there was a recall on this, but most VIN did not qualify.

I'm having this problem too and even replaced the switch and bulbs, which didn't look burnt out to begin with. Running lights also don't work, and though the headlight indicator shows up on the dash (despite no headlights) the brights indicator doesn't light up when I try to turn the brights on either.
It doesn't look like the recall on those wires behind the switch was done on mine, or they did a good job. My VIN didn't show up when checking for the recall too. Fuses and relay is fine as well.

Now trying to figure out the best places to check for a bad ground.

Update. After checking for bad wires between the driver's side headlight and fuse box and brushed some dirt off the headlight bulb connector, my headlights started working again. Don't know if it was because I wiggled the right wire, or if it was the dirt. But at least I know the issue is downstream from the fusebox and I don't have to go messing with the wires between the switch and fusebox, which is a fresh level of hell.
