Any ideas would be great.

The headlights are the problem. Specifically the low beams.
The low beams turn on, like when the car ignition is off, the lights are on, but very dim... Well that is what it is like when the car is on.

Pull the left stalk to you and the high beams flash, BUT push it away, and there are no high beams. The fog lights work.

The parking lights work.... I don't even know where to begin to look. The only thing I can thing of is that the ignition does not recognize the key is in and the car is on, so the low beams don't fully turn on, But that is a guess.

Ideas?
