Headlights not working

Check your alternator. If you have a Voltmeter or DVOM first check your battery it should be at 12.60 or something around the just to check your battery first. Then start your car and put the leads back on both terminals again and the reading should be 14 volts or even a little above. If it is low like 12-13 volts the alternator might be going. 12 definitely you would need an alternator. Or you could bring it in to autozone. I had a problem like this in a different car, it was a civic and I ran these test and even brought it to autozone to check it off the car and it was faulty alternator. I went ahaead and got a remanuafactored one and it ran fine. I hope this helps.
