headlights question

[83reeeegal]

so my cars been doin this sh*t for a while now where the high beams go on but low beams don't turn on... I have to **** with this switch for it to work properly, you guys ever experienced this before? I can't tell if it's the springs inside the switch itself but yeah it won't stay on for long either...

do ya know if it would be much of a hassle to change it out? I don't think the removing the steering colum is necessary but Idk

there are two bolts that secure it, I think they are 7 mm. If you have a tilt column make sure you have it positioned right. If you remove the two 15 mm nuts that holds the column in place the column can drop giving you more access to the switch.
