We can help you, but you need to tell us what is actually wrong. So far we know that you have some headlights, and you don't know what is wrong with them. Great. We don't either...we can't even see them from here. We also know you replaced the switched a few times. That's cool, but we don't know why you did that or if that helped.

Please answer the following questions:

#1 - What are the symptoms you are experiencing? Be specific. Parking Lights? Low beams? High beams? Flash To Pass? (aka: how you flash people by pulling the stalk towards you). What works and what doesn't?
#2 - You replaced the switch a few times. Did that fix it for a while? Did it do nothing? Tell us what's up with that.
#3 - What are your expectations of us? Do you want suggestions on better parts? Do you want help finding the root cause? Do you just need moral support? Help us help you.

Regards,
Walky T.

Okay sorry, so the headlight switch its self will turn on my marker lights on but that's it, everything else works but I have no headlights I have to jimmy rig my brights to hold if I'm driving at night. I replaced the switch for the same problem but eventually the same thing happens I just get marker lights and that's all I can use , so I have to hold my brights down while I drive. Just any advice to get this fixed.

this sounds like a wiring issue, if u can turn on the marker lights then there is power making it from the switch to the headlights, What u need to do is run a tester and see of u are getting a current from the switch to the other 2, This can be done easily by taking the head lights plug off and running a tester to ground and to the head light, then turn the head lights on, High beams ect to find which one is getting current, It may be that the wiring NEAR your head light switch is bad, an OBD 2 would tell u exactly if its a ground or power issue, ive replaced my head lights due to a wreck "Really fun when someone pulls out in front of u on ice" anyways, the wiring to the head lights is simple its probably a power wire that has worn down or come off inside of the stalk, Its not unheard of
