Okay, I already know I have a beater-- but it's a work vehicle--- so let up on the comments (i.e. "why don't you try turning them on?" or "get rid of it", etc.)

All the lights work, except the headlights. I even tried changing them out, but it's still not working. Any suggestions to what I should check out? Your input would be appreciated.
I heard someone just tell me about needing a new headlight switch (as the highbeams work fine).
 
Check the relay. If you have the manual it should tell you where it is. also try the fuses. if both good trace wiring from lights back checking for shorts and wire grounding out. you might take a light tester and see if there is power going to switch. if there is see if there is power coming out of switch when it is turned on. this is how you check the switch.

First check out the dimmer switch,next trace the headlight relay down and check it out.If still the problem is not located, you can trace the circuit with a test light to find the point of lost continuity/

"BRILLIANT"!!!!
