With headlights on, I attempted to crank. The headlights did not dim at all and starter did nothing.

Okay, this is telling us the starter system is not working, try shifting the car into neutral to see if that makes a difference, if not, let's take a test light and hold it on the trigger wire of the starter and have a helper crank the engine over to see if it lights up. This guide can help you see what to do. I also have included the instructions on how to replace the starter.
