Have you pulled the bulbs out to see if the filaments are burnt out?

They give those out at http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Main_Page

I just had my Ninjette headlight low-beam burn out last week. I pulled the front fairing off to make room to access the bulb. Is there an easier way to do it? (without being a gynecologist, anyway).

it's a pretty easy job..10 mins max to replace the bulb without removing the fairing
turn the handle to the left
approach from underneath the fairing and feel for the rubber mount of the headlamp.
pull the connector out
pull the rubber mount out( or whatever you call it)
use your fingers to feel the clip. it disengages from the left side. take a pic by passing your cellphone underneath the fairing to get a better idea. though the clip( silver in colour) looks like it could be connected at both ends, it actually can be pulled out from the left.
Pull the bulb out. check.if the filament is gone then you would need to push in the new bulb. please don't touch the glass area of the new bulb. the oil deposit could cause harm when it heats up.
reverse the process and you are done.
Yes, it needs some serious touch and feel. the first time might take some time but once you have mastered the art it's very very easy. yes, you would need the skill of a gynec

This is for a 2012 ninja 250R

why did i have to write so much? watch this video:

Hey Guys,
I got the same issues with my headlights.Low/High Beam not working.

they stopped working on a ride home from work. Checked all fuses bulbs light up hooked up direct to battery. Changed relay to a heavy duty one.
And yes I have the bike running to see if the lights go on or not.
All wiring is intact. not cuts or exposed wires.

Any ideas what it could be?

No. You have to remove the upper fairing to adjust the aim of your headlight beam also.
