Headlight are not Turning on.

Hello, I'm having some trouble with my 2008 Acura TL. A friend and I ( I'm not mechanically inclined) have checked the fuses and bulbs and both are good. We used a multimeter to make sure they're getting power. They do not get power when the headlights are on. I'm not sure where else to look besides te relay and the wiring harness themselves.

I would appreciate any advice.

Are both not coming on or just one? I would say check the ballasts and igniters but it would be weird that both would go out.

No, both headlights are not coming on. My dad said it was a possibility but for both it's unlikely. I'm not sure how to check the switch to know if that might be it.

Im thinking some sort of switch or relay has gone bad or just another fuse you havent checked yet. Look in a haynes manual maybe.

I think I might have to take it to a dealership. I really don't want to but I don't know enough about cars to fix it myself.

Or an independent Honda mechanic.
