"ALT" fusable link can fail, usually happens after work mind you as opposed to randomly.

Do the headlights still pop up when switched on at the stalk?

Also worth trying a new earth connection just in case the 'normal' connection has decayed.

Put a jump lead from the earth (battery connected) to a clean metalic area and try again.

Battery definitely OK?

Is "ALT" fusible link OK?

Suggest test lamp to check where power is actually getting to.

It has been known for a loose connection in the engine bay fuse box to cause this.
