Default Bright lights
My brights on my car have never worked. I bought two new bulbs, installed them and got nothin. I've looked around the forum for a remedy and understand a new dimmer switch may be needed. Why would the dimmer switch just effect my bright lights? How do i replace the dimmer switch?

All it does is turn on/off the brights.
