Headlights on 86 Firebird

Well, I was warned when I bought my car about my lights and well it's happened! My drivers side light won't come up! The light goes on but I need to manually twist it up, but when I switch the lights down, it goes down.

I usually get my buddies to do my auto-work since I am not that good at this stuff, but any ideas on how to fix this? It's happened before, but somehow my lights started working all of sudden, but its been not working for like a month now.

Thanks

Derek

Well, I have many problems with mine too. It could be any number of things: wiring, relays, physically obstructions, switches, fusable links, etc. It is impossible to tell without checking all of these things, which I am trying to do on mine right now. I think ours are different design though. Try checking the board archives, there are many posts about this problem there.
