KS Headlights inop

My 16yr old son had a minor uh-oh with the left frt corner. Brake master went away- yikes. It got the headlight and the fender. Lights were on in the accident. Headlights are inop and motors do nothing either. All other lights appear to work-brake-tail-sides. I have searched archives and found nothing, but then again it is late and we having been scratching our heads for awhile tonight. Any ideas would be great.
TIA,
Steve,Will

I can look at it if you want. I'm in Liberty and have the parts to fit it (fender and headlight). Shot me a PM.

Check the fusible links. They are located in a brown box mounted on the front left inner wheel well. Look a few inches towards the rear of the car from the battery. The links are wire, insulated with a cloth cover. One protects the engine electrical, one protects the headlights and one protects the headlight retractor motors.
