Default Both headlights went out... Same time...

I took my car threw an autowash. Yes i have both inner fender linings and both are perfectly intact. I go to turn on my lights last night and neither turned on. My marker lights and corner lights are on. But hids are not. Checked fuses. No blown fuses on any hi/lo lh or hi/lo rh. What could be the issue? Ive never had any problem like this before...

on the car wash, did it have the underbody wash that sprays up..... and my semi unprofessional opinion, is that you should always hand wash your car

I imagine there is probably water in the plugs or the ballasts were damaged

I had the code for an auto wash a few years ago, I must've used it 100 times.....Never had so much as a hint of a problem.
