...check the light globes to see if they aren't burnt out. May just be coincidence that both stuffed up at the same time. Just make sure you don't touch the globe with your bare fingers, use tissue/cloth/latex gloves.

If you have lost high and low beam then I would think you had a problem with your circuit breaker or fusible link mounted near the relays.Kevman.

Uhh...if something electrical shocks you...there must be obviously something wrong. Remove the relay and just go to your local spare parts and grab another. I'm sure it won't be too expensive...
