Check the fuses. Also, when you activate the "flash to pass" feature, do both the high and low beams come on? This will help narrow things down a bit. You may need to get an automotive electrician to troubleshoot it.

Unlikely both high beams gone out without you noticing. Unusual for both to go out at the same time. But you might check that first.

Here is something I just thought of. A lot of European cars have three different positions for their head lights. High beam, in town, and low beam. You could be switching to city position without realizing it.

Any one know about EGR valves going bad & what your car acts like.?

Replace your normal headlight bulbs They're burnt out.Its a cheap fix, if you can get to the bulbs putting the new ones on you don't want any oil from your fingers to get on the bulb .It takes the life out of them.Check your fuse box and look for the fuse for the headlights and see if it's got a metal connection inside or if it's not burnt looking
