Default Headlights and high beams won't come on

My headlights and high beams are dead, although the running lights still come on at night automatically, and the foglights work.

I've tried searching on this, reading the manual, etc, and I'm thinking the circuit breaker for the headlights got tripped somehow. Is there a way for me to manually reset the breaker?

H'mmm,try resetting your pcm? Don't know if that'll work or not,if you disconnect the negative on your battery for 15 minutes it should reset it.

Try checking the fuse block for a bad fuse, or maybe a bad relay or switch.

The circuit breaker for the head lights is self resetting. Try replacing it.
