Hello Tom.

I have similar problem.. my lights go off sometimes, when I turn on high beams, but I can press/hold lever and lights come on. I assume mine is the switch.. it's called "combination switch" I think. Fastlane has them for $135 for my vehicle.. and also Performance Products I think.

If you replace it, let me know how hard/easy the work is.

Thanks.
