so when i have my high beams on they work just fine but if i switch to low beams my lights altogether turn off. but sometimes the low beams will stay on for a little bit and slowly get dimmer and dimmer untill it turns off

 

Bad wire and/or bad bulb.

 

replaced bulbs and does the same thing

 

Check the wires that run to the bulbs.
Also check the wiring on the headlight switch itself.

 

check ur fuses...

Then it's a bad wire, or connection.

If it was a bad fuse the bulbs wouldn't work at all.

 

it wouldnt be a fuse because they work for a couple of seconds sometimes

 

could it possibly be the plug going to the bulbs

It could be the plug which would mean it's the wiring like I said earlier, however, it is odd that the wiring is messed up on both sides.

 

It looks like I may stand corrected. I looked at a fuse diagram, it looks like there are fuses for both high and low beam. Can you please verify this and check to see if your low beam fuses are blown? They should be 10A fuses.

 

have checked and they were not, but if the fuses were blown why would they work for a little bit once and a while

Sometimes fuses don't completely blow, they crack a little allowing the component to work.

 

i hate to quote myself but...

You may have a bad combination switch on the steering column.
