First day I got my Bronco II, got back at night, drove it around, lights worked, were finicky, but they worked, sometimes they'd cut out but if I messed with the high beam level on the column they would come back, now I only have parking lights and no headlights ? Any suggestions. The night I brought it home was the only time the headlights would work.

Have you checked all fuses yet? If fuses are good, may have a faulty headlight switch or loose or broken wire somewhere.

Sounds to me like your high beam switch is bad.

I looked over the fuses, I was also leaning toward the high beam switch, as thats what would cause the lights to come back on when they would go off. Would have to yank it back hard.

I'll have to give this a look tomorrow, I know the windshield seems to have been leaking, maybe it got wet and nasty.
