Hello, I'd get at the connector for the headlite switch, check the feed wires to the switch. The orange wire is a fuse protected circuit, hot all the time, for the taillites and such. The red wire is voltage for the headlites, hot all the time, protected by a fusible link. If that link goes out, you won't have any voltage for the headlites or taillites.
