You need to approach this systematically. Do you have a voltmeter or mechanic's trouble light? With either of these you can check for 12V at various points in the chain leading to the headlights. Once you find where the 12V stops, you have your cause. With the Dremel you were just guessing. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
