Default High beam question

I have a tech question its about my highbeams for a 96 gs300
(The lever im talking about is the turn signal lol dont know what else to call it)

Ever since ive bought the car my high beams only work when you pull the lever forward you know like when you flash somebody my highbeams + my low beams come on im not sure if thats normal and would like for just my highbeams to come on

and also when you push the lever away from you and lock it to keep the high beams on they dont come on at all and I dont know why

If anybody has some quick trouble shoots it would be greatly appreciated I just bought some yellow bulbs and would love to use them during the day i cant keep my highbeams on thanks in advance

When the bright lights are on, the low beams are on too. Thats how it is with most/all lexus' as far as the highbeams not woring at lock, do you have the headlights on when trying that? The lights have to be on in order for that to work.

Have you checked all fuses & bulbs related to this? (Start with the easy stuff first)

After that it's a case of checking voltage at the various parts along the system (Switch, fuse, relay, bukbs, etc)
