Bet both the high beams are out. Start cheap by replacing the bulbs. Bet it solves the problem. Next guess would be a short in the switch

Yep, that happened to me once in my F-150 except the other way around. I had to drive home from work about 25 miles with the highs on. Guess I POed a bunch of folks, but I didn't have a choice. Had to buy two new bulbs at the same time. Weird.........

Most likely the headlight switch. Mine went out one nite while pulling a 30' TT down a long winding stretch of 2 lane. Had to reach over and hold the switch in a certain position to get them to come back on. Drove like that for about ten miles. People come in the other lane thought I was flashing my lights at them. Not fun...
