OH MAN!!!

start checking fuses, most likely a main fuse or something, look for some big ones - fusible links - I'm not an expert, but no one is jumping on this.

that sucks man - condolences - but the fact that everything runs means it's probably fine and just needs like a main fuse or something.

If *only* your headlights are on and your car does run, then your main fusible link is blown. It is the one clip that comes right off of the positive battery terminal, probably covered in a blue-green sheath.

haha wow... good luck with this! The wiring diagram should help you find all the fuseable links.
