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.

Is there a problem with the high beam light on a wrangler?
Knowing the model year would allow us to research common problems. You have not stated the year model but just looking at a random Wrangler schematic it could be that the dimmer switch has failed as both high and low beam appear to have a common power source through the headlamp switch.
Why is the head light switch out on my Jeep Wrangler?
I suspect the latter only because both high beams are out. 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.

Why are the high beams on my car not working?
If the high beams function but don’t seem to light your way, especially if you drive an older vehicle with polycarbonate headlight lenses, your car may be a victim of headlight fogging. This isn’t simply scuffing, but an actual chemical change from polycarbonate’s exposure to solar ultraviolet light and caustic exhaust emissions.
Do you need high beams or low beams?
Low beams are the bare minimum, for safety’s sake, but high beams are an absolute must for night driving over 25 mph. For most vehicles, headlights are a basic electrical system, controlled by switches and relays to turn them on and off.

How does a high beam light bulb work?
Get familiar with the fuses and relays that control your headlights. The headlight switch usually doesn’t control the headlight bulbs directly, but through one or more relays. The headlight switch powers a relay, which powers the headlight bulb. This protects the headlight switch from the high current used by the high beam headlights.
What causes a low beam light to stop working?
If a headlight fuse blows, it could cause the headlights to stop working. Most headlight systems are also designed with a relay that switches the power between low beam and high beam headlights.
If a headlight fuse blows, it could cause the headlights to stop working. Most headlight systems are also designed with a relay that switches the power between low beam and high beam headlights.
How many fuses are in front low beam light?
There are 2 10 Amp fuses, one for each front low beam light (#14 and 15 in the fuse box), so won´t expect for both to blow at the same time. There is however also a single lowbeam relay, which gets its signal from the body control module.
Why are headlights not working but high beams are?
Corrosion, a bad ground, or some other issues can damage the sockets and disrupt the power flow to the bulbs. If only the sockets of the low beams are bad, it will cause headlights not working but high beams are.
How can I tell if my tail lights have a fuse?
When you have located the fuse for the tail lights use a fuse tester to check the connection. If the tester lights up – your fuse is functioning fine. If it does not light up then, replace the fuse with another of the similar amperage and size. In many instances, you can see the break in the metal strip of the fuse.
