Default Headlights stopped working?

Tonight I come out of work, Jump in the stang' and drive home. At the stoplight I notice another car across from me blinking his lights at me, Personally I just thought he might have hit it on accident, So I just continue on route home. When I get home, The usual I see my headlights reflect off the house, But tonight I dont, Only the side markers. So I twittle the headlight switch back and forth and smack around the ****... Nothing. So my headlights mysteriously stopped working. What may be the cause of this? I need to fix it ASAP because I have work until later hours this week, and I need my headlights. Any INFO would be appreciated.

nope, the fogs dont turn on. thats all i tried. so what you're saying is for me to maybe go out and buy the whole box? how much do those usually cost? im guessing around 10 bucks.

My bet that its the Lever switch. Prolly melted, its not uncommon. Check it. Turn signals working?

I just went out and at first its still the same. But after I turn on my turn signals, I try the headlights and they come on. Before that everything else came on. Now im just confused.
