Yes, I see that, the common gets 12v.

 

Yes but the battery plus lead only connects to the green common on the switch. Does not connect to the breadboard.
That means move the red battery lead to a empty slot on the breadboard and connect the green wire from the switch to the same location so that the two wires only connected to each other.

Ok I will try the switch hook up thanks

Hello sghioto,
Ok, I wired the switch as per your diagram and the low beams are working steady on, full 12v, all good.But the high beams are not working. If

Post a HD photo of the breadboard and a wide enough shot so I can see the wires from the switch please

No it is not. See the image below for the correction.

The high beams are blinking but they are blinking simultaneously, not alternating, and doesn't look like full voltage

I did move the wire

 

Check the resistors and make sure there isn't a short. It appears to me that R1 (100K ) might be touching that 100K resistor from pin 6 to 7 on the 555.

Holly smokes I just must have touched something on the circuit and now the blinking is alternate! Maybe some components were touching LOL I think two resistors were touching, so far I am a happy camper! Thanks to you Sir

Wait maybe spoke too soon things are acting up on the blinking



Might be this crapy breadboard too, seems like the one led is cutting out then back in and brighter than the other led Nuts!

 

Probably just need to clean up the wiring and the component layout on the breadboard.

I agree, Is it safe to say my component connections are correct, else it would never blink correctly at all?

 

That's correct.
What's next? Are you ready to permanently construct the circuit on a perf board or pc board?

Can you tell me where the NO wire should be connected to and the two high beam wires? I want to clarify that

Where they are connected now. The two high beam wires and NO on the switch are connected together along with the 555 and Q1 circuits as in the schematic. Just follow the wiring on the breadboard.

They were not connected in the pic i uploaded to you, just the low beams were connected. What I did which is probably incorrect is I used a lever wire nut with the no wire and the two high beam wires, and it worked but then got wacky. So to connect them directly to the bread board do I connect them all to q1 collector? Sorry if I am screwed up

Yes they were, where you soldered all those red wires together on the switch. From that junction you only needed one wire to the breadboard.
