Hi,

First, I need to know if you have Xenon headlamps or not. Additionally, I attached a small portion of the a wiring schematic and circled fuses I need you to check. Take a look at them and let me know what you find.

Since all lights have stopped, if the fuses check good and there is power in and out of them, I suspect it may be the switch, but let me know this first.

Take care,
