Brights do not stay on, how to fix?

Post by DoubleBaril »

Ok, so when I click to engage the high beams, the go on while I hold the lever back, but they do not click in place to stay engaged, and only work while I hold the lever back. When I let it go, they go back to the regular headlights. Any any how to fix the lever?
