its verry common on the second gens for the headlight switch to fail and even sometimes catch fire, Id start with the switch. when the switch starts to go the most common problem is no headlights unless you hold the high beams on

I vote for headlight switch. Make sure you get the harness also. And don't get the autozone crappers

Most often my car's headlights become too dim. This I find when I drive it on highway. Is anybody could be able to help me?
