Actually, if it was a fuse, it wouldn't work at all. Have you checked the switch?

It's the head light switch. Here is a picture of it being removed:

You should be able to get it at any parts store. Have them check yours before purchasing one. If youj need help removing yours, let me know. It's easy. Joe
