Headlights Issue

My truck is a 2004 F350 4x4 CC V10,got a weird issue with headlights, Saturday I noticed the drivers side headlight was dimmer than the other side, this morning I noticed drivers side headlight was fine and passenger side was dim,on the drive to work notice hi-beam indicator was dimly lit and when I hit the hi-beam switch it was normal, anyway on the drive in all of a sudden my headlights went completely out along with the fog lights. Ok today checked it out and no headlights but the fog lights come on if you just turn on parking lights. So I thought it was the headlight switch and bought a new one and installed it and still same issue, I am at a lost at what could be wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need a new multi-function switch on the steering column. The contacts could be bad, and the high beam light being dimly lit makes it sound like some current was feeding back through that circuit.
