    Check the fuse and if the fuse is fine, have a look at the relay under the bonnet. And the globes is another good point.

    yeh, had a similar issue myself, except it was the other way around, headlights didnt work, high beam did, checked the fuse, relay, globes all were good
    took it to the auto sparky, was only the switch, had dodgy connections!
