Headlights and aux. lights

Getting ready to drive from Mesa, AZ to Salina, Ks.  Noticed the low beam headlights come on as well as all clearance and tail lights.  Hi beams do not come on.  The dash indicator says they are on but are not.  Same with the aux. (fog) lights.  Any idea where the fuses are for these two sets of lights?  Thanks for your help.

No, I did not have the engine running.  I'll start it and see if that makes a difference.
It does.  All the lights work.  Thanks Barry.  By the way, Deep Woods Off works great to clear the headlights. 
Thanks again.

Geez! That is a difference I would not expect. Thanks for the hint.

When we bought our coach, the "auxiliary lights" would only illuminate when the headlights were on. I wanted some front "anytime driving lights" in order to be a bit more visible from the front. I did not want to run marker lamps and headlights all the time. I moved the 12V supply line on the switch for the "auxiliary lights" from the headlight circuit to a circuit that is has 12V power whenever the ignition switch is on. I leave the auxiliary light switch on all the time, and have front "anytime driving lights" whenever the ignition switch is on. The auxiliary lights go off when the ignition switch is off.
