have you checked your grounds and terminals for corrosion ?

Yeah so on my ride back from grandma's i thought do the brights work?
Well tried the brights and they turned on then when i turn them off the headlights where working joy!!!

Thanks this is a great forum.

P.S. I dont think my truck likes to go to Grandma's the tranny went out one year ago on the way there to this day.

check your grounds and terminals for corrosion. there is one small ground wire going from the battery to the front fire wall. chances are its broken or losse. when you truned on your brights you had enuff current to weld the connection, this small spot will heat up at some point and you will be with out lights once more.
