Since you have courtesy lights at least there is power to that aux circuit breaker and it should continue on to the headlight switch as well. It sounds as if either the circuit breaker on headlight switch died or someone changed it to a fuse or non reset type.
Automatic breakers will reset in a second or two and if the problem is still there trip again, then reset, then trip etc etc. This will continue until power or problem is removed or the breaker or bad item just finally dies. You will need to identify exactly what protection you have.
That would be the next thing to check but will confess I don't remember how accessible it is. You may be able to see it or have to remove the ventilation controls or even the entire switch plate to access it.
I don't have a picture of your exact switch but the stock switch and breaker will be arranged something like this one. Once you can get to it, the next step is use a meter and check the two posts at the very end for voltage. Measured to ground, you should have 6 volts on the single post which is battery side and if breaker is good, also the side with the metal bar feeding the switch. If voltage not on both sides, breaker problem. If you have voltage, switch or connector problem.
