Low/High Beam Headlights not working

Truck: 2002 3rd Gen 4Runner

I have an issue I can't seem to figure out. Let me know if you guys have experienced a similar issue.

I am unable to turn on the headlights either on low or high beam. I can flash the high beams using the stalk but I get no indicator light in the cluster when it's in the on position. The DRL's are working just fine along with the parking lights, instrument lights, turn signals and brake lights etc....

Troubleshooting so far:

Replaced both headlights with brand new ones
Replaced headlight relay from another working car
Verified all headlight fuses are good

I'm tired of driving around using only DRL's.

Any help would be appreciated.

Someone mentioned the Dimmer Relay.....not sure if that would cause this issue ???

Anyone have any ideas ???

Did you check the little 7.5A DRL fuse? If that blows, you are stuck in DRL mode. I suggest swapping for a known good fuse--don't tell me "it looked fine". I get cranky when people do that.

If that's not it, time to get a 12V test light and do some troubleshooting. Let me know when you're ready. Or just ask for guesses on the net, that's always fun, too.

If you want to troubleshoot, you'll need this:

Replace the headlight stalk.

Takes about 10-15 minutes and costs about $37 for an aftermarket.
I had trouble with my brights not working at all unless I flashed them. Replaced stalk, worked perfectly.
