My car runs, the interior lights, both overhead and the dashboard, come on. The switch to turn my headlights on light's up when I switch them to on, but I get no lights coming from the headlights. Checked the bulbs, seem intact. Checked the relevant fuses, they're fine. Thoughts?

If I am understanding this correctly, when you turn the head lamps on, neither one comes on? If this is the case the most likely cause of this is the switch. I attached the wiring diagram and we need to test for power at the lamps. If you don't have any then we need to go to the switch and see what we have there.

Here is a guide that will help with that:

If it turns out to be the switch, I attached the replacement of it so you can follow that if needed.

Thanks
