Issue with hi beams and general electrical woes

[wilco22]

Hello,
This is my first post. I am trying to solve an electrical issue with the headlights on my 2008 sedan. My lights seemed to flash the other night when I put on my brights. Since that event, neither bulb's brights work. I have running lights enabled and when I turn the brights on, the low beams go off and there is a fainter light that may be equal the running lights brightness - I hadn't really made a note of them before. Here is the combo of condidtions/facts:

• My normal low beam setting works.
• I can not get the fog lights to work when at the low beam setting.
• When set to the parking (middle option on light stick) lights are on, I can turn on the fog lights (so they aren't burned out).
• My brights do not work at all but when I attempt them, I get a dim illumination - much less than standard low beam.

I changed all the fuses that might be even remotely invovled, although the existing ones didn't appear to be bad but some and kind of browned posts.


I'm thinking it might be a relay as some lights work under some conditions but not othere. Any ideas?
Thanks
