Default No brights?

So am I missing something, or does my T/A not have high beams? My friend also says he hasn't found them on his 2000 camaro.

My High Beams dont work either. Kind up pisses me off but I dont drive a lot at night. Just thinking getting HIDs.


EDIT: I was told if you have your Fog Lamps on the High Beams wont work.

If you have your high beams on your fog lamps do not turn on

there's a small black button on the floorboard, to the left. press it with your foot. sometimes they disappear under the carpet, so stomp all over


holy crap. just grab your turn signal level, and PULL IT TOWARDS YOU

i hope this is a joke..

My turn signal won't pull towards me... that's the first thing I've tried.

It is a bit stiff sometimes. Maybe yours is stuck though.

It seemed like pieces were going to snap when I pulled it... I sprayed some lubricant on the appropriate places in there though, and now it works. Still a bit stiff though. Thanks.

While on the topic, is there anyway you can flash the highbeams with the headlights off?

When I bought my Z28 it didn't have brights.

That's because the car was a cop car in its previous life. Apparently the police like to use that switch for something like all the strobe lights. All I had to do was reconnect the wires, though.

Ok, now you lost me again. You're head light doors on a TA are CLOSED unless you turn the lights on. So even if you could flash you brights without turning on the lights, you would be flashing them at the radiator.

Even on the camaro, the flash to pass doesn't work with headlights off.Kinda pisses me off sometimes. ****, even my 87 Supra with pop-up headlamps would
open the lights and flash when you pulled it toward you.
