Have you checked various connections in the system with a multimeter?
I would start at the headlight plugs, if nothing there, check the connection at the core support, then check the connection coming out of the firewall, the headlight switch, and the power wire for the lights going into the fuse block.

I lost power to my headlights when the power wire on the back side of the fuse block corroded and came apart at the terminal. Replaced the terminal and all was good again.
