The switch still turns on the lights on the inside and the brights dont work either and that's a totally different switch so I don't think that is it

check the fuses by the passenger side kick panel. I blew the fuse for one headlight and bought new ones because I thought the light was bad and it turned out to just be fuse.

I just cut out the place that was burnt and re wired it and taped it up really good,the wiring harness goes right under the air box and it just holds alot of moisture in that are and it had gotten ground out against the fender.(this was after I couldnt find any blown fuses or relays)
