69 Camaro dimmer switch problems

Hi folks!
This is my first visit to this site. When I hit my dimmer switch to go to high beams my lights cut out all together (no lights at all). I have replaced the dimmer switch twice and checked the wires and they look O.K. Any ideas? Thanks!!

If the wiring is good and the switch is good. then the high beams must be burned out. Check the ground. Good Luck

pull a head light and stick a voltage tester onto the lead to the high beams. if you got 12Volts you gottum bad lights. my guess is you wont have voltage and have a bad dimmer switch although if you have the wiring wrong it wont work either. you have a hot to the switch then two wires to the head lights that take turns going on and off.
