Headlight Wizards Help Needed

My headlights will not come on (both low and high beam) and the turns signal lights on the dash blink at a higher rate then fade completely. Other lights like hazards, reverse, breaks, interior, glove and gauges work just fine.

When the car is running and I pull on the headlight knob to turn on the headlights, the BLUE light indicating highlights on the gauge come on in both the high and low beam light position . . . .but no headlights.

* Checked and replaced healdight fuse.
* Starter switch is new.

Has my turn signal assembly falied and causing this?

Help needed as I am in the DARK.

Garage
mine did this and it turned out to be the headlight switch at the stalk /turn signal. Are you running higher than recommend wattage headlight bulbs?

Replace the Turn signal switch. Happened to me twice. 1st time flying down an unlit country twisty in the dark. Not a time to go blind.

Install relays even if headlights are stock.

Common known problem.
