No brights?
Hey, i just bought my 92 Camaro. And I feel stupid even asking, but I cant find my brights.
I pull the headlight switch all way, but only driving lights come on. I also try the signal lever.
Is something broken?

Possibly the dimmer switch that is attached to the ignition switch on the steering column under the dash. This same dimmer switch could just be out of adjustment. Just a thought!!!!!!!!
One other question, when you pull the lever for the High Beams, does the high beam indicator come on in the instrument cluster?

When you pull your turn signal lever toward you, does it click like something's supposed to be turning on, or does it simply move limply?
The lever pushes on a thin metal rod that runs the length of your steering column. The end of the rod should be poking into a white plastic base. That base is the switch that turns on the brights.
So if your lever moves without clicking, then that rod has probably slipped out of its base... maybe from someone having the column apart for some reason and not lining it up right when reassembling it.
Dropping the undeside of the dash exposes it to you. Just stick it back in place, and you're good to go.
Edit: And if it's still not clicking, then the lever probably isn't assembled correctly inside the column where the lever is supposed to be pushing on the rod. That can be tricky when reassembling the column it to get it set-up right.
