Maybe the dimmer portion of the headlamp switch is bad. What year is the truck? Some of these had a varying voltage resistor built in.

- This may have the dimmer as a seperate switch. Does it have a pull out headlamp switch or a rotary switch? If there is a seperate swiych it will a thumb wheel type.

Take the thumb wheel out, make sure the connections are good. If they are, then most likely the thumbwheel switch needs to be replaces. It should be available at your local parts store
