Checked the manual for the '91, wiring page shows a connection  
straight from the switch to the headlamps, no relay.  Other models  
might have a relay under the hood?  There seem to be two 15A fuses for  
the headlamps, my guess is that one of these has gone out.  If the  
fuses check out, then your switch is likely the problem.

That would take all the fun out of it...  ;)
