Default Toggle switch for headlights?

Low beams quit working but high beams do I replaced bulbs harnesses and switch but still nothing and I don't wanna look for a busted wire because the previous owner has it all rigged up so how would I go about installing a switch for the low beams I don't have a computer and my phone never lets me do anything in the DIY section so I can't look just low beams for now I'm not worried about highs the new bulbs should do alright

You're the current owner. You're gonna have to figure this out as no one via the electrons can guide you on this.

Wiring a different switch, just run wire through the firewall right behind the brake master cylinder.

I'm trying to hardwire it to where I don't have to use any other wires except the ones I put there myself nothing seems to work yet

I can touch the power wires from bulbs to + but when I plug into relay and switch it doesn't do anything lol

It took me a couple hours but I found an old *** toggle switch and tried it and it worked so oreillys is giving me my money back third thing in a row I've bought from the same store that's been bad right out the box
