Icon6 head lights not working!!!!

having a small problem just now. for some reason out of the blue my main beam (normal lights) don't seem to work anymore. everything else still working i.e full beam and side lights.

you guys got any idea what could be the prob. i've checked everything i can think of. but everything seems to be fine. that is the bulbs and the fuses are in full working order.

i was thinking it may be the switch in the car thats not working anymore.

any ideas would be good.

thanks

It's more than likely a bad light switch on the steering column. You can either replace it or disassemble the switch and clean the contacts.

Not sure if AutoZone has it. You should read this thread.

i was thinking it could be something like this. i'll give the column a stirp down 2mrw before my work and see what i can do.

i'll try get a mater and check the wires as well see what turns up.

thanks guys

thanks guys
