You are going to need a volt/ohm meter, start at the light sockets, and work your way back. Naturally, first check your fuses. Something might have blown, when the rain got into the headlight shell. It doesn't sound serious, but it could be a real pain in the ass to find. Keep us informed. Good Luck!!

As Walt said..fuses first..if you know your electrical stuff you should be OK..maybe a bit hard to trace it all..or may work after fuse replacement...there are some 'fusable links' in the wiring for some of the stuff like the power windows and those are gonna be a bitch to find if any are melted...Good luck..
