Hi
Wanting some help here for my VQ.
Last night i went to flick on my high beams and when i did i lost all my lights including the dash and the highs didnt come on at all.
Then i pulled the lever towards me to flash them on and i lost them again but the dash lights stayed on.

Help? or take it to an out sparky?

Chances are a Wire has become or is close to shittin itself.. Check your wires behind you Cluster.. There on C1 C2 & C3 They are White Plugs, simply pull em towards you and they will pop out.. And you can inspect each wire :)

OR.. your fuse may be close to dying aswell.. Look under your Fuse Pannel (Located Under the steering wheel) and check the fuse that's supposed to help for P/Lamp I believe it is

Thanks mate ill rip the cluster out and check my fuses tonight :) but do you mean check each wire with the multimeter or will those wires show visble damage?
Hopefully its just the fuse lol

Bad battery terminals can cause this, ei: low voltage.

You could also check the high beam fuse (30amp) and relay under the bonnet. I blew the high beam fuse in my VN and it did the same thing.
