Questions that narrow it down

General checks. Answering them does not confirm the failed part on this vehicle.

Worth checking first

A bulb, fuse, or connector can be the whole job.
Do not treat a charging complaint as a headlight-housing failure.

Safety

When not to keep driving

Do not drive at night without working headlights. If brake lights are out, other drivers cannot see you stop — get them working before the next trip.
