Default headlight question on a 1977

Hello

I have a 1977 C3.

I notices that when I tunr on the high beam headlights the low beams get brighter, but the other two headlights don't turn on.

I'm hoping this is just a fuse issue, but maybe somebody here could point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any and all help

do you have the correct lights installed? high beam for inner, low for outer?

I could be that both the hi beams are burnt out, or have corroded connectors.

If your low beams are working correctly, the fuse is fine.
