    When I switch on my headlights (stock), they only come on in high beam, with the high beam dash symbol and all! The control lever doesn't do anything when toggled backward and forward which would normally initiate the high beams. Has this happened to anyone else? A "sticky" relay perhaps? Help me out my TW brothers!

    Well the problem has fixed itself so far. Forgot to mention that we were having some heavy rain (for So. Cal) when this happened. So I think the case was that something got shooken loose or open recently during some desert whomping and exposed something to moisture. (That's my technical explanation.)

    Thanks, Matthew! You're the man dude! I know I could've researched and tinkered with this stuff on my own or just hit up my TW bros who know what's up! Thanks, again.


    Indeed, Bill. My findings precisely! Haha!
