The relay just diverts the power in one direction or the other. Somewhere there 
is a break in your connections to the low beams. Since the power runs from the 
relay to the fuse box and splits there, I'd start with a voltmeter or test 
light and look for power at the fuse box and then trace it backwards to the 
relay. Since that is just one short wire, my guess is that one end of that wire 
has fallen off, or is connected to the wrong thing.
