for a few months, but only every now and then, when i clicked my headlights up to bright, they just went out. i mean.....ALL of the lights went out. switch back to low beams was okay. maybe five or ten minutes later. high beams worked just fine. About ten days ago, the high beams stopped responding completely. i'm thinking that i need to replace the turn signal switch on the 'column'. what do you think ?
