Angry Headlight Problem

Ok, about a week ago i would turn on my headlights and just the parking lights would come on.....so i then flipped the bright on then back to normal position then the headlights worked....this lasted for about a week....now when i turn on the light i got nothin at all.....even when i flip onthe brights i get no brights........the only thing i got is parking lights and if i bring the steering column switch towards me the brights go on and that is it.........any suggestions...already tried to replace the actual light switch and that was not the problem......im thinking the actual steering column thing used to turn on brights? but who knows.......also i have had fog lights hooked up to the regular lights for about 6 months and no problems......im going to double ckeck those connections........but those should not interfere with the brights.......if you need more info let me know........i would appreciate some suggestions..THANKS

I have heard about a wire in the steering column being pinched and even causing fires, that has to do with lights. I don`t know where I`ve read it. Hopefully somebody that knows will pipe in.
