No Head Lights

I have a 1967 Ford F-250 I have running lights, tail lights, turn signals, and brake lights and emergency flashers but no head lights. I first thought it was a burned fuse, but they are fine. Then i thought it was the light switch and changed it. Still no head lights. Then i changed the bulbs themselves and still no head lights. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are they grounded? Have you checked anywhere for power or are you just throwing parts at it?

Make sure you have power to the high beam switch from the light switch. Usual problem is that the high beam switch gets corroded from the moisture.

No Head Lights

Well at this point you'd be right, with me thowing parts at it. So, tell me where would i start. the only disconnected wires i have found are branching off the three prong socket that plugs into the head lights. Is that my power source?

Usually they are pretty toasted and crusty by the time they quit so make sure and replace the pigtail connector too.
