You could have bulbs that are starting to go bad or a bad ground. The bad ground is the most likely cause since it happened to both at the same time, but it should effect the high beams also. So the first thing to check would be check the grounds at both headlamps and check the voltage supply at both headlamps. It is possible that you have low voltage and that would have to be checked at the switch and the dimmer if that is the case.

Testimonial: "Thanks. I'll tell her to have the dealer check this ASAP. "

My low beam lights sometimes stop working i still have high beam and daylight runing lights after a while they come on.2009 elantra dealer can't find problem.

when the low beams quit try switching from high to low and back and see if low beams stay on, if they do it may be the dimmer switch, if that doesn't change anything suspect the headlight switch.

1998 acura rl headlights dim

I would think ur low beams are burnt (the bulbs) because that dim light u see should be the daytime running lights, which are usually less bright that the lights turned on.
Verify ur fuses as well for the low beams.
Check on that for now and get back to me if u have questions.
