Headlights not operational in anyway after bulbs die?

Hi everyone, I have an 86 Trans am and a few days ago i noticed some water in the right headlight. (as if you were sitting in the drivers seat) The left high beam worked and the right one didnt. The left low beam didnt work and the right did. (opposite working bulbs) But then yesterday night i was putting the car away and i pushed the headlight switch. All i got was all my running lights. The lights didnt turn on (inside or out of the car) and they didnt pop up. Today i turned on the lights again, opened them manually (no light still) and turned the switch off and they retracted on their own?! whats going on? do they not come up when the bulbs are dead? or is it a fuse (which i checked for) or a relay? thanks for the help. -Robert PS sorry for the long post
