    Hey folks, I have a 2014 4Runner that has been awesome! However, I have noticed at night when I switch from dim to bright that all that happens is that the fog lights go off. The range for the headlights does not increase. The Blue indicator on the dash panel comes on, but the reach that I should be getting from the Hi Beams does not happen at all. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!

    The bulbs can simply be dead.

    How about checking the bulbs first before digging into the electrical?
