    how did you check the fuses??

    if they are confirmed, the headlight switch may be bad but it is not a common failure.

    I checked the fuses with a multimeter, and by swapping fuses. The headlights work; other lights do not.

    Thank you, sir. The dealership confirmed that the problem is in the headlight switch; I ordered a new one.

    Does replacing it require special tools or procedures?
