First check the fuse. Then check the wiring. Check for power at the headlights. The service manual has a way to test the switch. You can download it in the FAQ2 in this section.

Did you pull the switch all the way out and not just far enough to turn the running lights on? lol j/k man. Hope you fix your problem.
