After Randy and I had our little photo shoot a month ago, Dan Barnes was
flogging my car through the desert darkness, alternating between highs and
lows, when we lost ALL headlights.. left with only citylights, side markers
and rears.  If you held the stalk back, you got everything - release it,
you got nada.  Turned out to be the ignition switch!  Apparently a bunch
of stuff gets lit up through it.  If all else is not panning out, maybe
you guys should check there?
