Bluepearlgirl Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I bought a used 2011 Legacy with low mileage several months ago and last night for the first time I tried to use the high beams on a dark highway. I pulled the lever forward (toward me) and the high beams came on and the indicator glowed on the instrument panel, but the lever didn't click or stay forward. I had to hold it the whole time while I was driving. I see no button or switch or anything else with instructions on how to keep the high beams on. Does anyone on this forum know what I might be missing? Even my old '99 Honda had a lever that clicked in place for the high beams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 On my 2002, I have to push the lever DOWN for it to latch in. The UP position is for 'momentarily' flashing the high-beams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepearlgirl Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 If I push up or down it's the blinker, so that can't be it. I turn the part on the end for normal lights and then have to pull the level forward for the high beam lights. And it never clicks or stays, I have to hold it the whole time otherwise the lever just goes back to it's normal position and the high beams go off. I even looked at my car manual and can't find anything about the high beams other than pulling the lever forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Did you try pushing the lever downward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Push the turn signal away from you it will click on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzam Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 nipper is right. Pulling the stalk towards you is the "flash to pass" or "your high beams are on and your blinding me, dummy" function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Push it forward for high beams and it will click into position. When its on high, pull back and it will click into the center position for low beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
