Sounds like it is going to be your headlight switch.
Check for any burning around the outlet your headlight plugs into.
When changing the headlight switch keep in mind there is a little button on the side of the switch that you have to push to get the **** out.

I had the same problem and i replaced the headlight switch and then again no running lights. Turns out the plug that the headlight switch plugs into was melted a little bit. Had to snip all the wires and hardwire the headlight switch in.

I think he means the plug that connects the the switch might be the problem
