More data:

I pulled the fuses for all four lights (high/low-R/L) and turned everything 
ON/OFF and found no voltages across any of the open fuse positions.  That 
tells me that there is no voltage reaching the fuses.  If no power reaches 
the fuses then there is no trigger signal reaching the light relays.  The 
problem has to be before the fuses.

Looking at Bentley (X-822, if it helps) it looks to me that there is no 
power coming from the switch to the fuses.  Power comes from the ignition 
switch to the main on/off switch to the dimmer switch.

Possibilities:

1.      Bad ignition switch.
2.      Bad main light switch.
3.      Bad dimmer switch.
4.      Something else?  What?

The dimmer switch simply turns the high beams on/off.  If it goes bad the 
low beams should still work.  That leaves the ignition switch or the main 
light switch.

Other lights - parking lights, turn signals, etc. still work.  Dash lights, 
etc., work when the main switch is turned on.

My first guess is a failed ignition switch portion or possibly a loose 
connector for the ignition switch.

Does any of this make sense?  How far off base am I?  Suggestions?  I 
realize I haven't completely ruled out the main light switch.
