All of the lights work except for the dip, side and main beam. Any ideas?

Headlight switch - take it out and check the connector has not melted 
Be aware that the switch is different for models with / without front fogs.

This page lists a number of faults caused by the connections to the light switch. Scroll down to 'electrical' and click the link which will detail how to remove the switch. It is usually pin 15 which causes the problem. Check the large connector for signs of overheating as it is usually more obvious on that.  Let us know how you get on please.

Have you by any chance removed the large connector to the Main(Drivers side) fusebox?

Might be worth unplugging it and reseating it anyway 
Possibly a poor connection in there somewhere

Two minds with a single thought  The point is have you put the connector back correctly?. It can appear to be ok BUT actually be one row of pins out. Tompion has posted the link so make sure the lugs are in the correct position before pushing it down.
UPDATE. There is a saying on here re the connector. "If it goes down easily the first time it probably 'aint right!!"
