My multifunction switch is on the column. This is the second brand new switch I've installed to try to fix this problem. I know the brights work on the headlight bulbs because I wired them directly to the battery and they come on. By the way they are aftermarket led lights. There's only 3 wires ground/low beams and high beams in the plug. These are plug and play headlights same shape and size as original headlights. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

So, this truck has an immunization controller that sounds like it is not working correctly. I would use this guide to help confirm the power outputs and grounds to the headlight system and I have included the headlight wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which wires to test.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
