may be a combo switch.. may be something else in that little mechanism, take the thing apart and sand very lightly on all the moving connections just take enough of to freshen them up a bit i had a similar problem and that fixed it.

If you hold the lever as if you were flashing your lights then the bright lights work, the dims work fine but when you press the lever to turn on the high beams the lights go out.

Ok I'm having a similar problem. I have a 95 4Runner, my high beams are basically my low beams. When set to low beams the head lights are very bright, you could almost consider them high beams and than when I flip the switch forward to high beams they dim very low, too low for even low beams. I can't figure it out. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Help would work too

Could be someone may have installed something like a 9007 bulb in there. 9004 and 9007 bulbs have the same type of connector but differ in how the pins are wired. What you may be seeing is that your low beams are hitting one filament (like normal) and the high beams are hitting both filaments (in series) and making that glow dim, since you have twice the resistance in line and thus half the current and a fraction of the light output.

Headlight combo switch:

I followed 4Crawler's instructions to clean up mine (high-n wouldn't come on every time that I switched from low to high-on). It's an easy job. My switch contacts weren't greasy/dirty, it just needed the contacts cleaned up with very very fine sand paper.
