If you're lucky, the hi-beam switch just needs to be adjusted, but it's fairly simple - just a pain in the *** to get to. Take off the knee pad under the steering column and you'll see the 2 nuts (13mm, I think) that hold the column up. You'll probably have to take them off and swing the column down and out as much as possible to get to the switch. Anyways, the switch is located way down on the column (left side), almost near the firewall, and has 2 10mm screws on it. Before you mess with it, just check to see if the actuating rod is even moving as you try to engage the switch. As long as it is, the chances are, all you'll have to do is adjust the switch, and you do that by just loosening those two 10mm screws and sliding the switch up and then snug them down again. It's pretty easy, just a pain to get to.
