I don't think it's the switch. The "bright light" indicator comes on in
the dash when you flip the lever and you can here the relay clicking
behind the glove box. Anyone got any idea's?

Re: TJ Bright Lights Not Working....
If you have 'fog'??? lights connected to high beams, the circuit is
overloaded so I would guess either the switch has died or the relay had
fried out. Most likely the relay is burned if it is the power source.
The older headlight switches would burn the breaker in them when you
overloaded the wiring.
'Driving lights' which come on with highbeams need their own source of
power. You can use the switch to tag an independent relay for them, but
you cannot wire them to the high beams.
'Fog' lights only come on with low beams and already have a relay I
believe.
