Need help with Lighting issue

[bull27]

Got in my car tonight to drive back into the city. Went to turn headlights on.......NOTHING. Checked the fuses, they were fine. The headlight switch did not illuminate. The only thing that was on were the "dim" lights in front. When I pulled back on the highbeam lever the high beams would go on, but when I pushed the lever forward to permenantly have them stay on they would not work. The same thing goes for the front fogs. I drove around the neighborhood and when I got half way around the headlight switch illuminated and the headlights came on. The last thing I need is for them to go off while I am driving at night. Does anyone have any idea on what caused this, or how I can fix it????? Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way
