My 89 has low beam headlights only. When I click the multifunction lever on the column I either get lowbeams or darkness. Is it the multifunction or something else? Thanx!

 

My guess is that your highbeam element in the headlight is blown. Can happen after voltage regulator issues or a voltage surge when your high beams were on. Time for a new set of headlights (go for the Silverstar Ultras).

 

Good advise. Love mine. Big improvement ..... and the factory 02's are a lot brighter than your, I think!

The hella's are nice and bright. Replaceable bulbs now instead of replacing everything.

 

Are the silver star ultras helas or not? Where do I find them?

 

Silver Stars Ultras are at all O'Reillys Auto Parts..... if you have those.
Silver Star bulbs made by Sylvania...not Hela

Take a HOT jumper-wire and put it to the hi-beam prong on the headlight; lights up = bulb okay, no light = bad bulb and problem found.

Otherwise, the dimmer-switch is probably bad.

Best is to buy a generic floor-mounted dimmer, screw it conveniently to the floor, and route the light wires through it, just eliminating that mess on the column.

 

Got the Silver Star Ultras at Oreillys today. Both hi and lo works now and they are brighter. Thanx Again!
