Headlights low/high beams both sides not working

08 Honda Fit Sport: headlights stopped working
both driver and passenger side low/high beams
#1 first symptom was low beams are okay but no high beam on both sides for maybe 2-3 weeks
#2 then briefly intermittent no low beams: maybe twice where low beams worked one day then not the next day
#3 now no low or high beams
#4 fog lights DRL do not work; seems like problems may have started when decided to check fog lights DRL that i normally do not use
troubleshooting so far
+ continuity is good on fuses; visual inspection is good too
+ relay appears to be good; hear switch when lights turned on, and swapped relays
+ replaced one bulb; appears high beam was burnt out, but no change with new bulb (may explain first symptom with high beam out)
+ get 12v at headlight fuses when light switch is turned on
+ no active honda recalls

UPDATE: replaced the switch assembly in the steering column to fix the headlight.

Thanks, Dan
