Possible to check Head light sensor.

I know one or possibley all of my sensors are bad. The lights do not go up. Corrections the drivers light does not go up and the passenger light goes up sometimes when I play with the switch. I have replaced the switch with a brand new one to check to see if that was the problem and it was not, so I know it is a sensor. Is there a way to check which sensor is bad? I do I just need to replace them all or one at a time to see which one is bad?

i never knew there was a sensor, it might be the relays for the headlight motor, i think they are called headlight isolation relays, or it could be the motor themselves the gears in them will powder over time

Sorry I meant relays. I consider them the same thing. I just want to know if there is a way to test to see which one or if all of them are bad. Thanks.
