The reasons that your high beams may not work could be the cause of a few factors. One, be sure to check the fuse that controls the high beams, it is separate from the fuse that controls the low beams. Next, if that doesn't work, go ahead and check the ground wires, a lot of the lighting problems in my VW was the cause of the ground wires. If this doesn''t work for you consider that the high beams could be burned out, but I figure that if both the high beams don't work that isn't the case. Then you would need to take into account the switch located in the steering column that turns the beams on and off is broken. Then if none of the above works you have an electrical short that needs to be fixed the best way to fix this probleem is to replace all the wiring that origionates from the high beams. Iknow this answer is a little long winded but this the way I do it to save the most money in the long run. Good Luck!
