Both headlights not working this morning, sidelights, full beam and fogs all working.
I find it a bit odd that both headlights have gone at the same time. Fuses??

I think it's usually independant fuses (so that if one blows you are left without any headlights?)
If it's any consolation... mine both blew at exactly the same time earlier this year, I thought the same at first, but changed both bulbs and they have worked since.
[EDIT]
Must mention... mine were H4 dual filament, my dipped wasn't working in both bulbs, but the Hi beam was (on the same bulb)

Yes they are! 
Actually the main beam bulbs are easier to change than the sidelights. just wip the covers all the way out (make sure not to drop the clips down the engine) on the battery side you can dismantly the battery cover to give you an extra 5mm or so!

Its in the stealers today for immob coding of my flip key (long story).
Ive got hands like tins of spam so bugger it, i will get them to do it and rip me off for the pleasure.
I would get the nublets at halfrauds to do it, but i kinda like my car better when its not on fire.

Headlight bulbs took me 10min on my 1.9TDi, honestly not that hard with the covers fully removed!
All sorted now, took it to Francis seat in Leicester. New flip key fob immobiliser coded to car after i mashed the glass chip trying to get the one out of my valet key 
New bulb in, and they sorted the issue i had with the elctric mirror back light not always working, loose cable.
56 quid all in. Not bad tbh.

Considering i work for them i find that insulting.
Give me any car & arl change any bulb.
Cars with bigger engines usually are harder to fit bulbs due to lack of space, but not impossible!
Many newer cars have crappy plastic panels which have to be removed to change the bulbs.
No hes right, The majority of them are apes. However there are a few good eggs.
Should buy a set of HIDS
Trust me... best thing I've done to the car, Second to a remap!

Not really had much of a problem with the stock lights, they seem pretty damn good tbh. Next mod is gonna be ARB methinks. How much would be a good price for fitting?
Not going to bother with a remap until i renew insurance in july, then i will get beefier clutch and remap at the same time. Going to have to make do with 160bhp for iom trip
