Did you check to make sure the dimmer switch wasn't turned all the way down?

The rheostat (dimmer) might have opened up.

Probe with a voltmeter to determine.

When you see fog or “running” lights on in good weather beware. WLow performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

Yup, that’s consistent with a bad dimmer.
