This has been covered a number of times. you can check the archives for headlight grounds. Basically, both headlight grounds come to a comon connection on a cluster above the fuse box. The connectoer mostlikely burned up and fell off the cluster. Ypu can fix it there or, at each of the headlight assemblies, splice and new ground and connect it to the body with a sheet metal screw or nut/bolt to the metal head light frame. The four mounting screws will provide a good connection. This repair will actually be an improvement.
