Did you check the fuse box in the engine compartment?

yeah...nothing looks burnt out

Obviously a voltage surge, i believe the regulator is on the alternator, which may be the cause. how many miles on the car?

yeah...nothing looks burnt out

The low beam fuse circuit feeds the fog lights, you said nothing looks burned. You need to pull the fuse and check that it's not open, use a ohm meter or substitute another fuse. You cannot always visually detect a blown fuse.

Not likely to be caused by a voltage surge, that would affect other components.

If you say so, but last week both my lowbeams blew at the same moment, the high beams and fogs didn't,and fuses were fine.
