Hey guys, my headlights have been going on and off for some time now, I replaced my switch after reading up about it but it didn't fix it.

The wiring to the switch has been tampered with, the dimmer wires bridged and the red wire cut and connected to another red wire.

I've separated the dimmer wires and the dimmer now works, tried joining the red wire to the original red wire and no combination of the two are working. When I connect the red wire to the original red wore the high beam blue light comes on while there's still no lights on.

Sooo yeah please help guys, switch is brand new

Earth in the driver's side kick panel. White/black wire screwing into body. Make sure it's tight. If it is tight, undo it, clean it and do it up tight.

Checked that the lights are actually working?

I lost both low beams once on a KE70.

Stick 12v to them and check that the low beams are working first, then work from there...

Have they ever worked?

If not, then maybe your wiring is just actually wrong...

They worked fine, then the left side dimmed down, then nothing at all (sometimes they would come on and off randomly)
