Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'headlight switch' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'headlight switch' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check pins connectors of each head light connections' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

There's no daytime running mechanism with original 996, so sounds to me they run the headlight wires to the fog light.

I will test the bulbs and then order a headlight switch...and then go from there!
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Greetings,
I am a brand new 996 owner, thanks to the Admins for this resource. I am a long time Mustang BOSS 302 owner, and I am glad to find a place like BOSS302.com to come to for answers. I hope one day I am knowledgeable enough to contribute in return.
Headlights. They won't come on. I get fogs and what I think are running lights, and hi-beams if I pull the turn signal back. But no high beams if I push the turn signal forward to lock them on. Apparently I am driving around with only fogs.
Please help me to run down this glitch. Thanks in advance!
HawkFan,
I would have done that, however I am sure there is a gremlin. I have BOTH hi-beams lighting up when I pull the turn signal...but nothing lights up when I push it forward...and zero lo-beams at all.
I suppose both lo-beams are burned out, but what are the odds of that? AND the hi-beam problem?
Trying to run the logic, don't laugh at me if this sounds stupid enough.
Will it be a wrong wiring when previous owner/mechanic unplug the headlight? There's no daytime running mechanism with original 996, so sounds to me they run the headlight wires to the fog light. Then when you trigger high beam, your headlight flashes, instead of the high beam bulbs.
Try follow the wires and see if they messed around with them. I'd also start to check if any blown bulbs which may mislead your diagnosis.
Good luck.
You might even check the pins connectors of each head light connections. They have a tendency to bend over when putting the headlamp connection back in place. My guess is the DRL has been wired up wrong. Good luck.
