What happens if you leave your high beams on?
It’s a not-so-bright move to leave your high beams on when it’s unnecessary and/or unsafe. This common driving mistake is annoying and shows poor driving etiquette, plus it can cause accidents by blinding oncoming traffic or distracting cars ahead of you.
How can you tell if someone is using your high beams?
The high beam symbol is a blue symbol with five horizontal lines vertically stacked to the left of a shape that resembles a headlight. This will engage on the dashboard to notify you that your high beam lights are active. Once the high beams have been turned off, this symbol will turn off as well.

Is there a problem with the Headlight high beam?
You could remove the headlight and then check the voltage at the high beam terminal when high beam is selected. If it has 12VDC then it’s a headlight bulb problem. If not…it’s a problem with the headlight high beam control.
Can a high beam switch be replaced on a Jeep Wrangler?
Once you check the voltage like missileman says, try to back track the wiring to see where the voltage break is. This can be a PITA. The headlight switch is a common problem on Wranglers, but very easy to replace. The high beam switch is not too bad to replace.
Can a jeep Head Light be burned out?
If you haven’t first verified the high beam filaments are good I suggest you do that before you go looking for trouble you may not find, just because both filaments are burned out. Agree w/ @Cougar above, the first thing is to check to see if the high beam filaments are burned out.
