Question about Headlights

Hi all, first time posting here but been reading awhile. I am about to get a 95 Bronco Eddie Bauer. Overall the truck is in great condition but I have one concern that I was hoping that you guys would be able to help out. The headlights do not come on at first you have to "play" with the Hi-beams wand a little for them to come on. The high beams come on without a problem just the normal lights have some trouble. Does this sound like a serious problem? Everything else electrical works great.

Thanks for you time
Kevin

That same problem has been happening to me, except the other way around. I have a 1993 Bronco and I have to play with the light switch to get the lights to come on low beam and my high beam doesnt even turn on. While i am driving my lights flicker on and off as well. Sorry i cant help you out, but hopefully someone can help both of us out.

Sounds like a problem in the multi-function switch (stalk). Get them to fix it before you buy it. they are a PITA to deam with. There is an outside chance its a contact on the headlamp main switch but again, I'd make it the sellers problem. Electrical anomalies are just frustrating.
