Hello,

Okay, so what you have got here is an open in the High Beam circuit and unwanted resistance, a dirty connector, frayed wire, corrosion across the fuse or fuse holder, in the Low Beam circuit. In the diagrams down below I have included a wiring diagram of your vehicle's headlight circuits as well as guides for how to find an open in an automotive electrical circuit, and how to find unwanted resistance using the preferred method, voltage drop. ou will need to use a Digital MultiMeter(DMM) so I have included this link below for you to go to, if needed.

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
