WOAH! headlight problem

Hey guys, been a while since I've been on here.. Busy busy busy..
Enough chatter..

My truck's been down for some time due to various issues, and I have all but one of them sorted out.

The last wheeling trip we went on was a doozie, and it ind of incapacitated
the truck.. Unrelated work included an alternator and a battery. Problem here
is that neither of the headlights come on now. Markers work, no headlights.
The old alternator was pumping out crazy amperage, could this be the reason? Or is it mor elikely something else? Need help here, gotta drive this truck again!!

Have you checked your fuses?

Fuses and bulbs are fine. I know there is a headlight relay, is it near the fusebox?

Light relays are in the fuse box under the hood. There is a main relay and a high/low relay. If you had DRL then you will have some other wiring to worry about as well.
