first you need to see if the headlights are opening up. if they are, check the ground going to the headlights that'sthe black wire. usually it goes to thelow beams. and high beams. check yoru dimmer switch first. just disconnect it and turn your headlights on, if they work then that's your problem. they have a habit of getting corrosion on them and doing this. especiallly mounted on the floor.
