Pulling on the headlight switch it has points where the lights do/ dont work.
The high beam indicator is actually the only light that works on the dash itself.
As for the headlights themselves, when you turn on the low beams, you have to kick the highs, bang on the fender and then the low beam (drivers side) will light. The high beams will always light but the low beam on the drivers side you almost always have to bang on it.
I plan on reviewing all the wiring before driving it at night, shes been parked mostly doing little fixes and whatnot since I've had her (3weeks). So we'll make sure shes safe!! and I have an exstiguisher incase!

Thanks for the ideas and expert input!
