If one of the individual lamp fuses blows, the other side is **NOT**
affected, so that's not your problem.

Do the headlamps work if you pull the headlamp switch stalk towards
yourself? (Flashes high beams.) What about if you turn the the stalk to the
high-beam setting?

Don't ignore the obvious here: the possibility that both of your low-beam
filaments have failed at the same time. Buy a new bulb (even a cheap one),
swap it in and see if it works.

You actually have a third, 100A fuse, under the hood. This protects both
sides of the headlamp circuit. See if that's blown. You'll need a test lamp
or multimeter to check that one.
