It could be a couple of things - fuses is one of them.  I've had a couple of
recent experiences with regard to wiring that surprised me with their
originality.  One of these days I'll get around to fixing both problems.

In our '66 Ghia I was having some electrical problems related to the fuse
box conections and I took it to a mechanic because I didn't have time to
fiddle with it.  After he got done, the connections were generally better -
its amazing what good contact will do for a 6 volt wiper motor.  But when I
turned on the headlights nothing happened.  After a bit of fiddling I found
that the brights work fine so I've been driving that way all winter. 

In my daughter's '67 Bug one of the headlights recently burned out.  When I
put the replacement in and tried to check the line-up of the beam I found
that one light was on high beam and the other on low beam.
