Checked all the fuses and they are all good.  Replaced bulbs with high end

You have a bad ground on the front lights look for broken wires on the radiator support or in that general area

I don't have a wiring diagram for this car but if the brights are working normally check the underhood fuse/relay box for a low beam relay it could be bad, for somereason there are complete headlight wiring harnesses on the net for $20 I didn't see a recall but they usually don't offer those kind of parts unless there's a problem. Someone else on this site may have a diagram, so wait a bit and see if there's one available here.
