    So I have just installed a new light bar and changed out the high beams and low beams to LEDs not yet the fog lights BUT I noticed when I got in the truck and started trying the lights out that the headlights would not switch to high beams but when I held the high beams they would come on just wouldn’t come on when I pushed the light switch forward. It was very confusing and I couldn’t figure out why, I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen? And what should I do

    Could you have accidentally pressed the auto highbeams switch?

    Your post is very confusing due to lack of punctuation.

    I’ve solved the problem for some reason I had to fiddle with the auto bright light switch in order for it to work. I pressed the Auto bright light switch let it activate then automatically turned my brights on and it worked fine. Thanks everyone.
