More info please. Do your dash/tail/brake/dome lights work? How do you know the bulbs are fine? Have you tried plugging the highbeam into the lowbeam socket?

get a test light and start testing for power along the circuit. From the info you supplied it's probably a short/open wire between the power side of the relay and the bulbs.

also check for headlight switch operation.

So to clarify, one of your sidemarkers works and the other doesn't? Did you notice this at the same time as the headlights?

FYI, headlight bulbs can be bad without any visual signs.
