bright lights yes dims no?!?!
hey quick question. my lights work oddly, my bright and all my other lights work, but my dims only work sort of?!?! they turn on and off a lot and they won't remain on(no slow dimming either on or off so the lights themselves seem to work)...from searching i've found a few ideas but i'm hoping that i can fix this quick without going through everything(it's friggin cold here with no garage lol) anyone have a similar problem or no how to fix it, i seem to be pissin' people off with my highbeams! ....ground, headlight switch something else maybe!?!?! THANX!

yeah only the low its wierd all the highs are fine and the lows work but erratically, they just go off for no reason and then come back on in a minute or the next dayi guess its a wire somewhere or the switch havent had a chance to work on it so i just unplugged half the bright lights seems to work ok for now

Sounds like a bad power connection on the Low side, since Hi & Low use the same ground.
I would start with the Low side connection on the headlights BUT.....If both sides are affected together all the time, that would point towards power from the switch.

Tilt Wheel? If so, try tilting the wheel all the way up and click the dimmer switch, or tilting all the way down and try
