Have you tried actually changing the globes?
A quick check of the circuit is to swap the plugs over on the lights themselves. As both low and high are H7 just put the low beam plugs on the high beam globes and turn them on to see if they work. Then you'll know for sure if it's the globes or the circuit.

Thank you so much for the reply and your help
Seemed both bulbs blew at the same time

All fixed now

Could find why both went like that

I dare say they didn't both blow together but probably within a few days of each other. If you put a pair of globes in of reasonable quality then you can be pretty sure the QC is reliable so it has to be expected that both globes will come to the end of their natural life at roughly the same time. When I blow one globe I usually go and buy a fresh pair and the remaining globe that still works goes in the glove box as an emergency spare.

Thanks again
Much appreciated
your spot on having some spare in the glove box
Definitely would save the high beam drive home again
Cheers
