Default 87 ran. r headlights out..help!

I have an 87 ranger and the headlights will not cone on anymore..both low and high beams. I have replaced the headlights, headlight switch, cheeked power running directly to the headlights themselves, fuses in the panel..what else could it be? I was told to check the relay switch but i can't find where it is located. Anyone have any ideas? Im tired of being home before dark lol..thank you in advance!

kinda strange if you HAVE power to headlight sockets, then the headlights should be on, I would say bad headlamps?
anyone else see that? unless you have a bad plug connector ...loose wire going into said connector
