Re: need help high beams
by dimmer switch i think he means the switch you use to go back and forth from regular to high beams, is that the switch you replaced??

Re: need help high beams
did you check the connectors at the back of the bulbs? if they are not properly seated, it will cause that problem

Re: need help high beams
Do you have those High performance high wattage "off road use only" bulbs? If so,the amp draw these take can melt wires and ruin sockets.

Re: need help high beams
take a volt meter to them and see if your getting anything through. trouble it back untill you find where tyour not getting them switched. you may have a short or faulty wiring somewhere not always a switch.
its been awhile since i had the column apart but i believe its the brown wire in your assembly inside the console, a voltmeter or wiggy will tell you for sure tho, since youve already replaced the bulbs and switches check the wiring.
