Last night one headlight was not lit. This morning the other headlight stopped working.
Found a blown fuse, 15 amp. It blows each time I turn on the light switch.

What ever side was not working I would check for the burnt electrical connector which is common, here is a video to show you how to fix it, you will need a headlight pigtail and a new bulb as well.

I would check both headlights, here are the instructions on how to do the job.
