The headlights do not run on fuses, but on circuit breakers. The reason for this is they don't want people to blow a headlight fuse and then drive around. One of the square silver boxes plugged into your fuse panel is a circuit breaker for the headlights, there should be a diagram in the owners manual. Your problem is either a short in the headlight wiring which is tripping the breaker OR a bad circuit breaker which isn't very common. Sometimes headlights will go off and on. Since it is most likely a short, start with the headlight switch itself, then check the high beam switch. Switches seem to be a weak point. Good luck VBD
