Start with the fuse panel. should be on the drivers side
of the dash. You should be able to see it with the door
wide open. Take your owner's manual with you,
because the picture in the manual is easier to read than
the one on the fuse panel cover. Check the fuse. If bad
replace. Anything else is a bit beyond my
troubleshooting abilities. My motto is check the simple
things first. Good luck.

Did you just try turning them on one day and they didn't work? I had a similar problem but mine happened when i had the lights on and pulled the high beam lever apparently not far enough and the headlights just turned off. Figured it out quickly just by pulling the high beam lever all the way towards me and back a couple times just to make sure that's what happened.

yea, I agree with Maggadog. Fuses are a good place to start. There's also a fuse box under the hood.

I *think* only the fog lights run on a relay, so if the headlights don't work, it's probably a blown fuse, a short somewhere in the wiring (blowing the fuse), or a bad headlight switch.

Not a problem, when it happened to me I was up north at 11 pm and didn't want to have to drive 50 miles home only with fog lights. Thank god I had put those in. Glad I could help.
