Default Headlights not working

Headlights, Fogs, and Corners went out. Tail and Brake lights work. Turn Signals work.

All Fuses are good. Relay is good.

No 'indicator' on the dash.....

I checked wiring at the fuse box and all contacts are as they should be.

Can't locate anything looking like a short between fuse box and headlights.

Any Ideas? I have no idea whats going on.

Then wouldn't that indicate a ground wire problem?
