If its the same for high and low I'd suspect a bad earth.

If your wires are tie wrapped behind the headlight cut the tie and inspect the wires for breaks. I had one headlight go out with only the high beams working. Removed the tie wrap and the wires went limp. Inside the wire covering they had split. My mech says it is a common problem.

This happened to me, it may be a relay or just bad wiring.
