headlight fuse

I have a 79 F150. The headlights have stopped working, but all the other lights are working as they should. I figured I'd check the fuse, but I'm not finding it labeled in the fuse box on the toeboard. Where should I look for a headlight fuse?

I believe the switch itself has a circuit breaker in it. Replace the headlight switch. This should fix the problem.

Barry, I remember seeing post reguarding the dimmer as well, in headlight problems.

Good luck.

BBT,
Try changing the dimmer switch, It's about a $3.00 part.
