[V8] V8 has no low-beam lights

[Charles Wurts]

Sounds like the old "column switch problem."   There is lots in the 
archives on the subject....  The column switch bears the full load of 
the lights.  Over time the plastic on the contact melts into the 
multi-stranded wire and compromises the contact.  Many listers have 
simply cleaned the contacts and moved on.  The longer term fix is to 
clean up the contacts and then relay the power to the headlights.  HTH.
