Default Headlights - high beams ok, no low beams

Honda Civic LX 1992:

When I turn the headlights on, the low beams are out on both sides.
When I switch to high beams, they both come on fine.
The bulbs are good - I checked visually - they aren't burnt.

Would something like this cost a lot to diagnose and fix?
Is this an easy do-it-yourself job?

TIA
Bubba

I wouldn't trust a visual test on a light bulb. They could still be
both bad. Check the filaments with a voltmeter set to ohms.

If the light bulb is good, should the ohm meter show something close
to zero/single ohms?
