All lights with exception of the headlights work. Any suggestions?

Checked power and ground to the lites? Also, what year and model is the truck.

Also check power in and out at the dimmer switch.

make sure you check the bulbs

70 L camino, grampa engine, g-force 5 spd, road rage suspension. Pray first before all else fails.

I had issues with the headlights once, ran around finding shorts here and there. Even behind the fuse panel.

One time it was the dimmer switch on the floor, another time it was the head light switch itself, even though it tested fine, but once you ran power through it, it would not power the headlights anymore. Put a new switch in and it was fine.

Good luck.
