Hi, Check fuses and side light switch, if the side lights aren't on, the headlights wont operate.
Does the dash illumination work?.

Check the fuses first, if fuses ok then check for voltage at the fuse, if there is voltage there then you will have to check the switch, (This is trying work it out in my head with no diagram at hand),Some one may have an easier suggestion, as i think the dash has to be removed to get to the switches. Try operating the switch quickly, (side light)in case the contacts are a bit dirty. you may find the lights start working.
Hope this helps(and works).

Those round switches are a known weakness push the buttons in and give the button a little wiggle while someone watches from outside the sidelamp switch may be the culprit if so they are cheap enough to replace has said already check basics too fuses etc
