Default No Headlights lo or hi beams

Hello, - I just finished some front end repair work on my 91 Accord four door. Replaced the upper & lower ball joints, along with both drive shafts. All was looking good - so I thought I'd take it for a quick but short test drive. As I pulled out of the garage I realized that I did not have headlights - lo or hi beams. Surprisingly, though fortunately, all other lights work, dash, blinkers, running, tail & brake. To R & R the upper passenger side ball joint/control arm I had to move the engine compartment fuse box to get to one of the studs - may I have created a problem there? Thanks in advance for reading as well as any thoughts that any of you are willing to share. If any of you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask & I'll answer as soon as possible.

Thanks Again!

Chances are it's a relay in the front fusebox. Check in there, I believe there should be one called "Headlight Relay" (or a fuse).

Thanks - appreciate the direction. As an update, - got it to the shop for a front end alignment. Once the mechanic completed the front end alignment, he took a few minutes to go over the headlight issue. Long story short - the connecter for the headlight circuit going into the bottom of the fuse box in the engine compartment had come unplugged enough to cause the problem - pushed the connector back in & all was good. It strikes me as slightly unusual - though when it comes to cars - most anything seems to be possible.
