    I have a 1998 Tacoma V-6 5speed. Headlights quit working except for drivers side bright. I replaced both head lamps with new Sylvanias. Now I only have bright lights. I noticed the blue bright light indicator on dash stays on but no dim lights when I switch to dim. Any help would be appreciated.

    Just a few LEDs...
    If the blue high beam indicator stays on even when you switch back to low beams, it sounds like either the switch in the headlight stalk is bad or maybe the relay contacts for the high beams are fused together.

    Definitely start by checking the fuses.
