Replaced DRL module. Replaced headlight relay. Replaced dimmer relay. Checked both fused. Checked both bulbs. My headlights will STILL not work! Fogs, brights, markers, and signals all work.
Not sure what to do now...

Sell it and buy a Toyota Matrix.

Do you have a diagram, to trace power flow?

Switch.

I can provide one when I get back to a computer later

The stalk itself?

Sorry, I keep coming to your house and putting the old parts back on the car as soon as you install the new ones. I’ll try to stop, but I honestly don’t think I can see that happening any time soon.

Well as somebody else suggested, trace it from battery to bulb. Could easily be the entire stalk-switch assembly assuming you don’t have the light-switch-dial on the dash as some do, but could also be something else.
Edit: and check for ground at the bulbs

Uh, you’re the one who needs the diagram, not me haha. Anyway, find out which wires/terminals are for the headlamp circuit and poke at it with a test light or multimeter in different spots. Maybe you have power at, say, the fuse, but maybe nothing’s coming out of the DRL module or something (hopefully it’s not the DRL, since you’ve already replaced it, but I’m just saying: follow the power).

Well it’s the only thing you haven’t replaced in the circuit :)
PS Next time I’d get a multi-meter or at least a test light. It’ll save you lots of time and monies.

Since you’ve replaced many of the parts, you’re probably down to a bad wire along the circuit. Or a bad connection at one of the plugs. You’ll want to trace the continuity of the wires to see where the break is.

When I had a CRX the headlights died at one point. Ended up being the key/ignition harness. The light circuit ran through the white plastic “donut” and the contact was worn out.
