Default Headlight help!!!!

The headlights on my 50th Anniversary C-5 suddenly quit working. The fog lights, turn signals, daytime running lights, tail lights, and turn signals all work fine. I have checked every fuse with an ohm meter, replaced the headlight control module, and the headlamp circuit breaker. I also checked the stops and bushings on the headlight doors. All are in good shape. The lights open and close easily manually but when open the doors the lights still do not come on. A new headlight switch is over $200 but before I buy one have I missed anything? I don't know if this is a coincidence or not but the last time everything worked was before I installed a Hyper Tech program to change my cooling fan settings. I have since put everything back to stock which made no difference. I don't see how this program could affect operation of the lights anyway. This is driving me bonkers so any and all suggestions would be much appreciated. Before suggesting I take it to the dealer their labor rate is $175 an hour and I seriously doubt they know anything about Corvettes and I don't feel like paying for some mechanics education. Thanks again for any information.

You should ask these questions in C5 Tech.
