The dimmer has nothing to do with the headlights. I have a Ford focus too and I've heard it's a fuse. Here's hoping because I'm having the same issue.

It's your dimmer switch.

Why won't headlights come on 2007 Chevy uplander

The headlights of your Chevrolet Uplander could be on. If the lights are out you may have had a headlight bulb fail. The headlights are located on either side of your licence plate and usually have a bright light on them indicating which side is forward.

98 corvette headlights not working

If you can verify current going out of the main dash switch towards the headlamps, then I would go relay hunting. My guess is the switch, since the brights and fog lamps work on demand (dimmer switch pulled).

My 2003 Chevrolet Impala has a problem with the headlights. bright lights work dim lights do not work. the light bulbs seem to be fine.

If you are 100% sure the lights are ok, it's going to either be the headlamp relay or the high/low switch. I'd swap a bulb for a new one before moving on to more troubleshooting.

Hope this helps.

Only brights work, dimly lit headlamps, no fog lamps

Recheck the bulb number. This happens when the wrong bulb number is installed. Otherwise it could be a bad headlight ground.

I have a 2002 buick century. The running lights will come on but the headlights will not come on. What do you think?

I have a 2000 Buick Century and if you hold the switch the brights will work but the low beams will not work not a bulb issue. The turn signals will work but still no head lights
