Default Headlights

I know it's been covered ad nauseum, but I'm away from home for some army stuff and don't have the resources I normally would have available. Last night I pulled my headlight *** and neither the high or low beams would come on, but the driving lights and tail lights come on... According to my wiring diagram, if the switch went, the the other lights wouldn't come on either.

So before I go buy a new switch, could it be anything else? (the fuse was fine)

Thanks!

unless it has been rewired im quessing headlight switch. mine would get hot and all the lights but the headlights would work, but each one seems to have their own quirks.

Now put a supplemental harness on your headlight system and have brighter lights and no more switch failures.
