Default Headlights pop up but do not illuminate ('88 944)

Hello all...new to this site. I looked around a long time for information on a problem I'm having, but couldn't find an answer, so figured I'd join here. Basically, when I turn my headlight switch all the way to the right with the car on, the headlights pop up but the bulbs are not lit. I checked the fuses and they all seem to be fine. What else could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you have checked the fuses and they are OK, you are left with a straight wiring fault to the back of the headlamp bulbs caused by fatigue in the wiring (this is less likely because for both sets of lamps to go this is low probability). I would suspect therefore that you have a fault at the Headlamp relays. Check your owners manual and identify the relays, and then check that you have power from the fuse to the relay. If you have then the relay is the suspect part.
