Anyone tell me if this is my dimmer switch and how to fix it?
HI,
I have a 1985 Mazda RX-7 and i have a problem. I try to turn the headlights on and when i turn the switch, the running lights work and the headlights pop up and all, but the headlights dont turn on. I know its not a fuse because if i hold,the lights switch back the lights turn on. I think that it is the dimmer switch that is the problem, but i'm not sure. If anyone could please tell me whats up and how to fix it, please e-mail me. kyle_alger@hotmail.com. If i need a new dimmer switch, then i will be looking for one if anyone has one for sale. Thanks again.

You said you pulled back on the headlight stalk and produced what should be your high-beams. If that's the case, then both (oddly enough) low beams on the car are out. You probably just need to get new headlights and that's it. A dimmer switch would not be causing a headlight problem. These aren't British cars.
