There should be a little clicker switch down on the driver side of the steering column, above where your feet are. There's a metal rod that runs from the turn signal/high beam hangle to it.
Check the swith itself, or the rod might be getting hung up on something. It also could be the bracket the mounts the turn signal/high bean handle to the rod. (I think theres a bracket there?)

if you change the switch, i've neve done oen i na camaro, it should be 2 screws and a harness. pretty easy to change, and cheap. tape the rod to the stearing column before you start so the rod doesn't move off the handle.

Are you sure it is the switch that isnt working? I had a prob like that that I traced to the fog light relay and the way that GM wired it up. Look at a wiring diagram sometime and you will see what I mean. But what you are describing sounds like what mine was doing... low works fine, switches into high fine, but wont switch back to low unless you turn off the lights and turn them back on again.

If it happens again, try tilting the wheel in diffrent positions and click the high beams. Sometimes my high beams wont work unless i put the tilt up first. i know its loose screws near the pedal. just havent gotten around to tighteningh them yet yet
