Bright lights not working
Brights not working light switch or floor switch? Regular head lights work, when I step on the floor switch, all light go off, step again low beams come back on

You didn't say what year, but if your car is the 63 listed in your profile, Napa price is $15. Two screws and one connector. Check the wires in the connector, they may be burned or loose.

I would bet the contacts inside are corroded from lack of use

I removed the dimmer switch, cleaned to contacts on the dimmer switch, sprayed some electric contact cleaner into the neck if the dimmer switch and into the female connection on the wire harness. Reassembled/reinstalled,works great.
Thanks for the guidance
