Some wild comments here. Personally I wouldn't want to be anywhere in a HMMWV when a 55mph head on collision occurred. Without airbags there was 90% mortality rate with head on collisions.
Installed sun visors, rear view mirror, off road lights, USB plugs, interior lights, console w/ cup holders & cell phone mount, indoor/outdoor carpet in the bed.

Literally hundreds of possibilities. The TMs are the best for troubleshooting.
Start simple,
Very switch
Verify bulbs
Verify connections
Verify EESS, yes it can affect lights.
With the high beams on does your voltage gauge jump around. EESS may not be cycling glow plug circuit properly and it...
I just joined the site. I bought 3 HMMWVs recently and have picked them all up.

1992 M998 2 Door Crew
1994 M998A1 4 Door crew
When you pick up take the following

2) Starting fluid
3) plenty tie downs...
