Headlights dont work

Well here's my problem, I bought my 1991 240sx fastback about 3 years ago, when i was 14. It had a few problems in the motor so i fixed them and the car sat up for a couple of years. I bought another car, which i drive right now until my 240 is a-okay. I went to go get a brake tag, and my headlights dont work now. They pop up, but they dont light up. The 15 amp fuses are okay, but i dont know why they wont come on. I searched the forums, but no success.

I would find it strange that both blow at the same time, but i cant check because of the glass. Ya know what i mean?

I find it hard to believe too, but I dunno what else could do it besides faulty wiring maybe

Can't you somehow remove the pop-up lights completely to check the bulbs?

If the bulbs aren't blown, I would guess it's faulty wiring as well.

Yeah you can take out the headlights...

I'd say take them out and see if you can tell if they are blown or not, if you have to buy a cheap-o light from like wal-mart or something and hook it up just to see if it works.
