So the bulbs arent burned out. And the fuses I checked associated with the low beams are fine as well. Hi beams work fine. just no lows. Is it the switch? Will a simple swap fix this issue?

Relay is good, switched it with another and they are both good

If you only checked one, then you didn't get it. There are two.

There are also 2- 10Amp fuses coming off each relay for left/right light.

you should be able to zoom in w/ your browser or save the image and zoom.
ok, 2 relays for headlights...one for high, one for low. You said realy in your responce. Are you sure you had the correct low beam relay?
The body control module sends the signal to the relay. Do you have any other odd issues inside the truck? These are not physical switches anymore, its data through a computer network.

LO HDLP Left upper box in the second pic.
Have you physically swapped the High Beam relay w/ the Low Beam relay?
If both side lows are not working...I dont know how long the run is after the relay before it splits to the left/right low beam run. But it has to be before that split. The low beams share the same ground w/ the highs. Two of those posts where the relay plugs in should have 12V. One is the signal from the Body Control Module and the 4th is the output to lights.
When you toggle between high/low beams, does the instrument cluster show the brights going on and off?
Are these headlights completely stock? No HIDS, No little boxes plugged into the headlight harness, etc... Have you actually checked for voltage at the bulb socket?

Yes I have swapped the low and high relays. Both lows are not working and both highs are. When I toggle yes the blue high symbol shows on the cluster. They are 100% stock. Worked fine one day, then the next day nothing.

I would start by checking power and ground at headlight connector to see what circuit to chase

Then check for ground signal coming from bcm to the relay. If no ground check for ground signal to the bcm from the switch, if no ground from switch you will need a switch, if you have ground from the switch and none from bcm to the relay you need a bcm

Just being hopeful I disconnected the battery hoping that would fix it when reconnected....strangely it did. They are fine now.

Good to hear it was just something simple like that.

i wonder what happened to make it screw up

If unhooking the battery fixed it that means the bcm had a glitch in it and it may happen again. Many module can be reset by removing power to them, sometimes they continue to work for years, sometimes they just fail again.

I thought this was going to be about BOSE.
