Is there a fuse in the head lights

Is there a fuse in the head lights? I lost my head lights high and low beams. My switch on the left handlebar got stuck and when I pushed it hard it freed up but no lights .Wonder if I broke the switch or if i just blue the fuse. I have a 2008 MC54 250B scooter. Thanks.

I am not aware of any fuses at the headlights, on any bikes. Just the one inline fuse near the battery.
Might want to take apart the rocker switch and have a look/

Doh!

Thank you. I didn't think that there was one, but I was hopping that I was wrong. I guess that I will replace the switch. And that cost $40.00.
Thank you for your reply

Hi
On That scoot the starter relay fuse also works for the lights
Check that fuse before buying a new switch, for more info

It is not a fuse, it is the switch.. I had the exact same thing happen on my 08 mc54-B.

Take the switch off, take all the components out of it, clean all the contacts, bend all the tiny metal parts back into place and it will work again.

If you had to force the switch, you bent the contacts inside the switch...

Thanks all but I bought the switch and had it replaced and the light work now. I am going to take the old switch apart and see if I can repair it and keep it in case it happen again.
Thanks to you all
