Driving at night head lights went out, had to pull forward and constantly hold lever switch towards me to get bright lights to come on, that is the only way I could get any headlights. I think the
Multi-function switch is bad, it does not clink and stays in place.
If it is the switch, can a 1999 Buick Century with cruise control switch be used on a 2002 Buick century without cruise control?

Hello,

The electrical connector for the switch with and without cruise is different, you won't be able to simply just plug it in.

I have attached the replacement steps below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Thank you for responding.
Now I have another question.
At first, both right and left low beam headlights were not working at all. Only high beams if holding lever. A few days later, the, driver side headlight come on, but not passenger headlight. I checked fuse for front passenger headlight, and it was blown. I put in a new one and light came on. So far both low beam headlights are working fine.
I have not tried switching to high beams. I am afraid to try high beams.
My question is, why would both sides of headlights go out and then only drivers side headlight suddenly start working? And then passenger headlight come on but lights were very dim.. After changing fuse for passenger headlight, lights are bright. . Is it safe to drive, or could there be a short and cause a fire?
Thanks you for your time.
