Dipped beam not working

I took the old girl out for a spin the other night and noticed that i only had side lights and main beam. After driving for about 30 mins the dipped beam seemed to come on all by itself......

Any ideas?

Thanks.

These cars are prone to problems with the main/dipped beam switch. There was a post in the last week or so that had pictures showing what typically fails and how to fix it. You might try doing a search on the forum.

It may be the switch in your turn signal/high beam switch on the steering column. Try a search for turn switch to get some ideas.

Check the fuse board for the dip lights.
I found the post connectors caused intermittant problem with my lights as well.
