headlights stopped working

I am new here and def not an electrical guru.
I have some basic electrical knowledge, but it's very limited.
I bought some new 9007 style bulbs for my F-350 and installed them a month ago or so.
They worked fine, better and brighter than the stock bulbs, anyway, the brights stopped working a little while ago and today my headlamps did not work.
Twilight in Chicago is coming early and I do not want this problem to occur again.
I looked under the steering wheel and found the fuse box.

I will try and locate any blown fuses, but where under the hood is the other fuse box?
what kind of protection do the headlamps have, fuse or fusible link, circuit breaker or relay?
could I have a problem with the wiring of the bulb connectors?
any help, please!!!

Look for fuse #7, 30 amp in the box under the dash.

Thanks, I checked it this afternoon, it was fine, I checked all fuese with my Fluke MM and found a few bad ones, not related to the lamps, I bought new bulbs and the problem has stopped, for now
I may still take it in and have the wiring checked
