Exclamation Urgent!!! Headlights don't work!!!

Ok for some reason my headlights desided to stop working. If you turn the selector to auto nothing. Manual nothing. You can get the parking lights to work and even the fogs but the moment you change it to auto or manual the fogs go out!
The high beams icon is on and stays on in auto or manual. They won't turn on either.
I have work tomorrow and I'm stranded at a friends house untill I get them working. Help!

Check fuses, and bulbs first. Make sure they are able to properly work.

check your fuses

I blew mine by accident one day messing with some wires.

same thing. make sure to really really check the fuses extra careful. Mine looked alright, but were blown.

I ended up doing a Resistance Check and discovered they were blown that way.

Did you ever get them working? If it wasn't a fuse (although Tylus said his did the same thing), I was wondering about a high beam relay if there is one.

The high beam indicator coming on when the high beam switch isnt on is to let you know that you have at least one H.L. not working. Its for people like me, who just assumed that my vision was getting bad last time a light burned out on my Sentra. Drove for a week like that until I stopped at a gas station at night and saw the reflection.
