The awnser is in the question, yes, your headlights grounded, yes, there power comes from a fuse link. when you start a car energy flows from the battery to start seleniod and at least 2-3 fuse links are there one for electronics and one for lights if one blows plan on spending 100$ to fix it at a shop
It is likely that you have lost a master fuse or fusible link. The headlights are nearly always powered directly from the battery through a fusible link or large, under hood fuse.
It is already grounded through the faucet and water pipes. Even if the supply lines are PVC, it will still be grounded through the water.
I just had the same problem in my '97 Nissan pickup. Both headlights stopped working at the same time. I went through some hoops, including trying a new headlight switch, but it turned out to be some corrosion in the plug for the fusible link that bolts onto the positive terminal of the battery. I cleaned that out and it is working fine again.
through the tires
your headlights will burn out faster and could possibly blow a fuse, but you would go through headlights and a drastically increased rate if you use headlights when they are unneeded.
A transformer doesn't 'conduct current through the ground'. However, in the event of a ground fault in the circuit supplied by a grounded transformer, the resulting fault current will flow through the earth back to the grounded terminal of that transformer's secondary winding.
the light doesnt go through the fog
Headlights that do not have a filament include LED (Light Emitting Diode) and HID (High-Intensity Discharge) headlights. LEDs generate light through electroluminescence, while HIDs produce light by passing electricity through a gas-filled tube, creating an arc. Both types are known for their efficiency and longevity compared to traditional halogen headlights, which rely on a filament to produce light.
there is no ground wire it is grounded through the case
On the firewall in engine compartment to the upper right of the distributor. Burns through if you hook the battery up backwards.

processor in consoleIf it is the left headlight, I think the problem is in the control unit in the console. Another contributor answered:"If your talking about the 95 Ford Explorer Limited Edition, there is a lamp module for the headlights (used by the computer to monitor status of the headlights) located in a steel box the size of a pack of cigarretes mounted to the lower inside of the center console directly below the computer display. The headlights are individualy powered by separate fuses which provide power throught the module to the headlights. The module directs fused power through a pair of high current resitors out to the headlights. The solder joints of these two resistors to the circuit board are notorious for cold solder joints. The circuit board is made in Amsterdam, and the module can run from $145-$175. Resoldering the two Resistors remedied the problem for me, with no outlay of money. "
