Find the rod running along the column. You can push and pull it and disable and enable them with the rod.

You could always get a dimmer switch from 70's Ford truck and move the switch to the floor if you don't want to deal with the column again.

My main thing is I just need to toggle the bright lights off. Does the rod run outside of the column?

Yes. I can't remember if its way easy to see but I do know its on the outside because it runs to the ignition switch.

Got under there and found one rod that will slightly move the turn signal switch...I pushed it up towards the steering wheel but when I turned my lights on the hi beams we're still on. Here are a few crappy pics maybe you guys can tell me what I need to push/pull to get those brights off

Atta boy. I would imagine that there is something wrong in the ignition switch for the highs to cut out. I belive a new one is around 45 bucks and not too bad to change out. But first you'll wanna put the plastic clip back in
