This is most likely an electrical issue, and may have nothing to do with fuses. If the headlight switch has failed, both headlights will be inoperative. On many cars, there are separate fuses for right and left headlights, so both of them failing at the same time is unlikely. Your best bet would probably be to take the vehicle to an automotive electrical specialty shop, and have them check it out. They will usually be able to find the problem in a few minutes, so the service chrarge is not likely to be extreme. If the headlight switch has failed, be ready to shell out some cash to buy a new one, because it will have to come from the dealer, unless you want some kind of ghetto rig that could fry your whole wiring system.
