I had a similar problem, as you describe. I'm also fairly unhandy with a multimeter. After going through the local autoparts stores' supplies of 5-amp bullet fuses (man, are those impossible to find), a fellow Pelican promptly popped out the headlamp on the same side, noticed what looked like a bit of chafing on the inside of the bucket, pulled apart the spade connector and plugged it back together, and voila--no further sacrificial fuses. What I thought was a bit of chafe in the paint was actually a loose connection, and the slight burn on the paint due to the arcing of current to the headlight bucket.
