Yes, what switch did you replace? When the headlight switch starts to fail, usually the headlights will work intemitently (regardless of high or low). Another possibility is a broken wire, you don't happen to have one of the low end "Relay Harness's" do you? I've seen those fail time and time again, and will cause problems like this. I would start by checking to see if your getting any voltage at the headlight plug.

I must have been in a hurry when I wrote that, sorry :S I changed the head light switch, but now I'm thinking its the dimmer switch cause there is no voltage at the end of the plug going to the head light.

Mine did the opposite. My headlights work but last night I clicked on my lights and the gauge, parking lights and tag lights didn't come on.. :nono:

Do parts stores sell the switch?

I was able to pick up a new dimmer switch from my local parts store, and that turned out to be the problem, the connection for the low beams on the old switch was just burned out, changed it out this morning and my rigs good to go :D
