You may have fried the headlight relay.

Will the car even start? Do the other accessories work (radio, fan,
heat, A/C, power windows, power mirrors, rear defroster, etc.)? If not,
that may indicate a problem with the ETACS computer.

 

Did you check the normal fuse in the fusebox ?

You'll need to check all your fuses. In many cases, more than one blows.
Rarely does this cause an issue beyond blown fuses.

That's good to know!
