My bright lights don't, and the light on the dash doesn't work, and the bulbs are fine and the fuses/relays are ok too so what could be wrong??

Ok well first off did you just look at the fuses or did you actually test them? Cause sometimes you can't tell by just looking at them. And did you get water in your electrical system some how?

Have you added anything that you've ran wires to? Cause I'm wondering if you have a short or if power is being drawn from the light sorce some how.

Oh thats fun the light in my dash just got replaced. My friend who I'm buying my truck from replaced it apparently he had to pull the whole dash apart to replace it

Yea but would that cause the bright headlights not to work if the light in the dash is out??

It would depend on what kind of circuit it is. What kind of truck do you have?

I'll try to figure out what kind of circuit your lights run on cause then it will be easier to figure out or should be anyway

----------

It could also be the switch itself

----------

If its a series circuit then the light in the dash could be affecting it.

It might be a good idea for you to check the switch and if that's fine then you should replace the dash light because its probably a series circuit

Either your relays aren't getting power, or your MFS stalk lost connectivity. Do you have tilt steering? Check the power distribution box under your hood for the relays. Relay pinout is in your owners manual.

Waylon sounds like your multi- function switch is bad!

The switch that controls wiper speed, directionals and high beams to the left of the steering wheel
