Default Lost my DRL and front markers...'03 RX300

2 weeks ago while on the way home from a trip I realized that when I turned on my high beams, ALL of my lights died. Headlights/markers/etc. When I flipped the lever back my low beams and markers came on.

I went to leave for work 2 days ago and noticed the DRL didnt turn on. When I turned the switch forward to turn my lights on, nothing turned on. (never leave in auto because it hasnt worked since I bought the car.)

So as of right now I have no DRL, front markers. And it seems as though my headlights are working awkwardly. LIke sometimes I have to go out when they dont work and mess with the connections ( wiggle bulb in the socket) and they'll come back on.

Ideas or suggestions?

I'll assume that when you say "bright headlights", you mean high beams. Your DRL are actually your high beams at half voltage. So if you high beams are busted, that would also explain why you have no DRL. Also, when your high beams are turned on, the low beams are naturally shut off. It's by design.

As for you messing with the connections, you'll have to give something more than a vague description like that.
Tightening bulb connectors?
Turning stalk on/off?
Pulling fuse?
etc?
