Assuming you've checked _ALL_ the fuses, and assuming you've tried to send
direct battery current (briefly) through the bulb filaments to see if they
actually light up -- the headlight switch (behind the steering wheel) is
bad.

You can swap this item with one from the wreckers, but be really careful
removing the SRS, so as not to damage the cable reel!
