No power headlights work
96 Civic hatch swapped b18a1 ran just fine till the other day. Got in it started right up and boom died. I replaced the ignition thinking that was it but nope. Good battery everything fuse wise checks out I have dom hazards and head lights but that’s it nothing happens when I turn the key no radio no anything. I’m at a loss at the moment. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated lol

Check the big main fuses in the underhood box next to the battery. One of them feeds power to the ignition switch and thus everything that is controlled by it.

I checked that as well, it checked out to be fine but I replaced all of them any ways in the fuse box under the hood just in case. I still seem to have nothing

The two white wires on the ignition switch are the feed from the fuse. Use a voltmeter to see if they are live. If not, go back to the fuse box and check both sides of the fuse should be live. Also check all the grounds. You will need a voltmeter to diagnose this sort of electrical problem.
