Default if you pull your headlight stalk towards you, do the high beams go on?

if they do- it's still your switch. if not, the fuse/circuit is not working.

Default FWIW - Spend the $300. at the Dealership and have it done there......

If it fails w/in one year they have to replace it Free of Charge.

My headlight switch went out on me and the local dealearship replaced it twice after that as well. I guess they got it right the 3rd time because my switch has been fine for over 2 years now.

Default Re: Did you check the fuses?

the driving lights and highbeams work when pulled back. all fuses are good. maybe i will just have the dealer do it and let them eat the switch whenever it goes bad. just did the timing belt shes purring now!
