My headlights, fogs, and tails not working

Whats up. I have a 2002 GLE with regular headlights and tails. I turnd them on when I left the house and drove about 2 blocks then they cut off. Every other light in the car works except for the headlights, fogs, and tail lights. I noticed that 3 of the side markers were out last week and I was gonna change the bulbs this weekend but we had ice and snow. Now the one side marker that was working is out too. Break lights, high beams, turn signals all work....what the hell is goin on????

I was going to do that tomorrow. Its cold as hell here and dark. When I looked at the fuses I noticed there are different ones for each headlight. I was wondering what are the chances that all of them would go out at the same time.

I'm 99.99% sure it's your taillight fuse under your hood.

I popped mine twice in one night.

Damn, the taillight fuse will also cut off the headlights too?

Oh, ok... I dont have 5.5 headlight. I bought the car used and it didnt have 5.5 headlight for whatever reason. I guess he took them off and sold it before he traded the car in. I hope its just the fuse. My girls brother said it could be the wiring too. I didnt want to mess around with it cause it was cold out so I just drove back home with the flashers on and got my SUV. I should have been driving that in the first place since we have some snow and ice on the ground.
