Low beam lights will not come on at all when turned on, and when I click the high beam light switch, brights come on but have to hold switch for them to stay on. Can anyone give me some valuable advice? [quote][code][reply]

Your high beams aren't really coming on. You are just activating the "flash to pass" feature.

This is a rather complicated circuit to diagnose so I seriously doubt you will be able to do it yourself unless you find it by accident. Everything is controlled by the Body Control Module and most of it works on a ground control.

Use a test light and test every fuse in the car before you do anything else.

So what is the best advice to take? Take it to a shop, electrician or what?

You need a shop that specializes in auto electric. The dealer would be the best but you may have a qualified independent in your area too.
