you can not put a normal dimmer on a florescent light. You need to install a dimmer made for flourecent lights and they are expensive about 50 dollar around here. If you want to dim it put a normal incandescent bulb in the fixture.

Why do low beams work but not high beams 1991 ford escort?
This is normally caused by the dimmer switch going bad. In fact, I know of no other possibility, other than the low beam of the driver's side lowbeam input wire being pinched or cut in two. The latter is a very slight possibility, but is still possible. It is very much more likely to be the dimmer switch being bad.One lady brought me her Merc Sable, with that problem...both her dim lights were blown,and would only work on hi beam....sigh...some people....
