You didn't say which model year. Most have 4 headlight fuses under the dash, one for each beam (left low, left high, right low, and right high). Probe the test points on the fuses (measure voltage from each point to ground) with the light switch in each position. The way it works is the light switch powers up either the two low or the two high fuses, then that power goes to the lights. If the low fuses don't get power at all, the light switch is probably bad. If there is power on one test point of a fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown.
