the bulb sockets go bad sometimes , do you have a test light , if so you can turn the running lights on and pull the bulbs and check for power and check the sockets for corrsion or melting and check all fuses , if you come up with nothing i will go as far as we need to

If No power when H/L switch On at the bulb socket with a test lite better check for a tail lite relay Toys use them. Also for a disconnected wiring connector between the dash and the bulbs.

Power @ bulb socket- You got brake lites that means the ground is okay

I think there maybe a relay switch BUT they are not labled the same way as american cars... would you know what it would be labled and the location of the relay... There are some under the hood and some located on the drivers side... It is hard to test a relay because some time you can't test them with a ohms meter because the relay is not open to get a reading.
