CHECK UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK FOR FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER AND RELAYS....IF NOT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSES. USE A MULTI METER TO SEE IF YOU ARE GETTING CLOSE TO 12 VOLTS AT SOURCE! ***NO EASY FIX...ALMOST EVER!!!
If it is anything like my 04 GMC Sierra, there is a relay panel under the hood. In that underhood box where you found the fuses, there are also relays. They pop out (the diagram is on the lid of the box). After the GMC hit 200k, the relays started going out. The high beams are on a relay, the lowbeams are on a different one. You can pop one out and replace it with the horn or foglight relay if you want to check it out. I am betting that the DRL bulb just happened to go at the same time. Mine go out regularly..I would say around every 10-15k miles. I don't know if this helps, it is just something that I have run across with a similar vehicle.
did you check for a relay in your fuse panel? there should be a relay that controls your low beams and one for your high beams. check for that and then if high beams are working swap it with low beam relay. if your problem switches to low beams working and high beams not working replace the bad relay.
If your getting power at the headlight wire harness, then it's going to be the bulb it self, but make sure your checking the right 12 volt terminal at the plug. There should be three terminals there, there is a ground, 12 volt low beam, and a 12 volt high beam. If both the low and high 12 volts are getting power, then it's going to be the head light bulb it self that has reached the end of it's life time since the day time running lights are always on which is the high beams. Good luck and check the fuse box under the hood by the battery.
That is great that you checked the fuses; that is one thing people usually think of last. The low beam bulb could be different from the high beam bulb and may need replacing. Go to an Advance Auto store or some such place and have them help you purchase the bulb you need.
