First thing you have to do is test the tan wire for 12 volts when the dimmer is in the low beam position.

thanks, i ended up taking it to school today and found out that all it was, was a simple wire mix up. the previous owner had no idea what he was doing, so i replaced the bulbs with halogens and got it all fixed, but thanks for your help.
