To be honest I went on youtube and saw that other people had the same problem. I did check all fuses.But the info I found on youtube was correct my resistors had burned through and had to be resolder or replaced. I did learn this everytime I turn my lights on the lights on my radio go deem. That's leds me to beleive that my Dimmer Healight switch needs replacing
