Default Head lights pop up, but no lights!

So while driving home yesterday, my headlights weren't working. They pop up but don't illuminate.....All the other lights work. What should I check? Thanks

Check the connections on the back of the headlights - they can wiggle themselves loose. If those are okay, trace the wires back to the big connector that connects those units to the harness - if that's okay; check all fuses with a test light.

So far, checked the connections on the back of the lights. They were tight. I also checked the fuses, all OK.

I forgot to mention, the high beam indicator (Blue Light) is being displayed on the dash. Still no lights.........

check the switch. i had a 98 silverado that would do that to. one of the prongs was bent from the retared that put in the remote stater before me. sometimes it would work and other times i would hit a bump and my lights would just go out. scary at night when you have no lights all the sudden. lol. check that also. good luck
