Mine are sealed beams so I would assume you replace the unit on yours too...
Mine were doing that a while ago and it was actually the dip switch that was broken and so the high beams coudn't work. Might be worth checking that before you replace the lights...
Yes...

Fog must be a frequent occurrence in your area for someone to have put in yellow lights. You should check that the "bright" lamp sockets are working when you get them apart (try one of the low-beam bulbs in a high-beam socket). You may have a switch, wiring, or relay problem with the high-beam lamps.

On a '69 as I have the dimmer switch is located to the far left, near the kick panel. Pull the carpet back and you will see a small black pedal. Under the pedal you will find the switch.
Good Luck!

I replaced my original T3's with a set from Lectric Limited. They look original but perform much better. http://www.lectriclimited.com/mainpage.htm
