yet another headlight question

I went to turn off the lights tonight and the right one went down right away then about a second later the left one decided to follow suit. any ideas? I'd like to fix any problems before they become a problem (specificly lighting because I always drive home from work around midnight)

thanks in advance

ps yes I already tried searching

More than likely it is the OEM gel buishings that have gone bad. I'd also disconnect the connectors at the headlight control module which is located on the firewall between the brake booster and wiper motor and spray them with contact cleaner, then re-connect the connectors.
