I think faulty light switch.
how do headlights operate? how do headlights operate?
On VWs trunk light may need to have headlights on to operate.
I am having the same problem with a 1994 model. The high beam indicator is also on. I believe it is related to the daytime running lights because when I turn on the headlights the lights get brighter. As I understand it daytime running lights are the highbeams at about 50% power. I need to find where that relay is and test/replace it. wish me luck...
have your drl (day time running light mogule) checked...it can be unplugged, but then you may not have any lights at all on some vehicles.
No, it's not normal. Some 2003 Vibe's have automatic headlights triggered by a light sensor. If you leave the headlight switch in the middle setting between "on" and "off" they will come on by themselves when it's dark. If you turn them off the daytime running lights will still come on and the high beams will still work but the headlights won't come on automatically at night.

Generally, a blinking DRL indicator on the dash means that there is a headlight burned out. Replacing them is cheap and easy.
Your car probably has daytime running lights which operate at 60% of full power.
Why would you? Fog lights are designed for use in poor driving conditions such as fog or rain at night. Using high beams under those conditions would make matters worse, that's why your vehicles fog lights won't operate when the high beams are on.
Check the fuse for the headlights. It is probably open.
the fog lights work with the low beams , they wont come on with the high beams
I have a friend with the same problem. There is a control module that works the highbeams, and running lights. I don't know where it is, or what it's called, but that's likely the problem. The auxillary lights are controlled by a relay. The relay has 3 or 4 wires connected to it. One goes to the high beam side of the headlights. One goes to constant power. One goes to the lights. If there is a fourth wire, it is a ground. These lights are supposed to be only on when the headlights are on high beam mode. The relay pulls power for the auxillary lights directly from the battery. The relay is only activated when the headlights are on high beam mode. Check the wiring.
