Headlights and dash lights problem

[Farmerlane]

We are not able to switch from high beam to low beam and when we drive at night the dash lights don't work

what do you guys think?

we have a 1986 chevy k10

Either the dimmer switch went out on the column or the headlight switch went out. I'm thinking more of a headlight switch because of the headlights not working.

my headlights work i just can't change the brightness, my dome light works and my parking lights work, but my dash lights don't work at all, and how do i switch it from high beam to low beam again, maybe I'm not doing it correctly!

You turn on the headlights by pulling the headlight switch in the lower left of the dash 2 clicks out. High/low is changed by pulling/pushing the multi-function switch on the column (the turn-signal switch). The dash lights are controlled by twisting the headlight switch knob on the dash left and right. It is possible to click the dash lights off by turning one way, or to click the dome and courtesy (if you have them) lights on by turning the other way.
