hey i have a question.....

the low beam headlights on my car just went out,and there seams to be some sort of electrical problem with the lever for the high beams. I have to play with it pulling i back in order to get the high beams to turn on. I was wondering if there was a way to switch the light bulb from the high beams to the low beams? And if not if i have to replace the hole head light fixture/housing or can i just by the bulbs??

Sounds like you have a switch problem, why would you want to replace the headlights?

well i need to replace the low beam because they are burnt out. and well the high beam lever is not working correctly. so i bought the hole lamp fixture.I went to napa auto parts, gm, and another car parts store and they do not sell just the bulbs, you have to buy the hole set up if yore lights go out. But got them on and working so its all good. there a little price gm has them for 60$ each but i got them at napa for 28$ each. The lever that you pull on to turn on the high beams decided to work today.... its working fine now but i know there something wrong with it it works but i have to jiggle it to turn on..... and advice...

You can do just the bulbs. Check out my sticky in the Exterior section.

Bulb sizes are 9006 for the lows, and 9005 for the highs.
