So did you check the bulbs? There are two elements in each of the outer bulbs, one for high and one for low. If the low beam elements burn out the lights will still come on with high beams.

Here's a wiring diagram to use if your bulbs are OK.

But all four didn't go out at once, only the two low beams did, which is not that uncommon, especially if one had been burned out but not noticed ;)
