No brights

New issue. Brights won't turn on. Bright flashers work sometimes. I had aftermarket HIDs on, and when the problem started took them off and replaced with the stock bulbs. Still same issue. Checked all fuses and they're good. Maybe a relay somewhere? Also replaced the indicator stalk about a year ago so I doubt it's anything in there.

Any experience??
