The head light switch on these cars has always been a problem. That said, it may be just a fuse in this case. Check them above the drivers kick panel. Find a wiring diagram for your car. This will help you trace which wires get power when. When my headlight switch went bad, I could still find a sweet spot between detents that would turn on the lights. Do the parking lights work?

Start with the simple stuff, if the lights worked before you took the car in, they most likely didn't put the car together right and the lights aren't plugged in right. They should be responsible for figuring it out.

headlight wiring in our cars is very simple you should be able to tackle the problem in a couple hours or less

Welcome, Sorry to hear about your delima.

I agree, first get a circuit tester or use a multimeter and start checking the wiring.

After you get that figured out, upgrade to a headlight harness with relays.
