When this happened to my car it was corrosion at the fuse panel.

Had same problem on my 86 Carerra - was the high low beam stalk switch - apparently these are prone to failure!

see if the two low beam fuses are getting 12V first. no power, suspect the hi/low switch, which often can be tweeked into functioning again. plenty on that if you search.

If it hasn't been done already, add a headlight relay. From the factory all of the headlight current goes through the stalk which contributes to its failure.
