Default Electrical Problem

Ok well driving from Kalamunda to Canning Vale isnt the most plesant using your high beams. The amount of people flashing me in rage was rather embarrasing.

I drove to work today at 5:30pm, day light (working nightshift), and finished 3:30am this morning. I found that the first turn of the lights puts on my side lights on, but the second click fails to put on the head lights. Just then i did a bit of fault finding by inspecting the headlight fuses under the bonnet, the illumi fuse under the dash but to no avail. I switch the lights on, the relays click and i have got 2 of the same kind (from the horn which i know works) and tried it on either the left and right headlight relay.

Im baffled. Could i be that unlucky that i blew 2 headlight globes in 1 go? Lose connection somewhere? I had a quick check at the lights them selves and they seem to be alright wiring wise but for 2 to fail in 1 go leads me to believe there is 1 main relay or fuse that has gone but am unable to find it.

Any suggestions as i need to sort this out asap and considering i know the fudamentals of ac/dc electricity id rather do it myself as an auto sparky would most likley charge me a fortune.

Thanks for your time,

Eric

EDIT: With a little bit of investigative work, i am eager to ask if a stock gc8 has halogen or HID globes? Aparently If halogen the low beams could of gone explaining the outage of low beams but if its HID, the shutter could be cactus. Does this sound right?
