High beams not working

I bought new LED headlights with halo for my 98 TJ from Amazon a year and a half ago. Never connected the halo but headlights worked fine. Now the high beam doesn’t work at all. When I push the multi function switch forward, the lights just turn off. I hooked up my plow lights and both low and high beam works. Any suggestions?

How are your plow lights wired? Do they also use the MFS?
 
Get some test leads...even jumper cables if you're careful and test the lights...unplug them...my guess is the high burned out.

Good that takes the MFS out of the list of possibilities. If you have a volt meter I'd check for 12 volts on both the high and low beam connection points on the back of the driver's side headlight connector. Find the low beam connector first by finding which one has 12 volts on it, then turn the high beams on and measure at the other connector (high beam) which is next to the low beam connector. If there's 12 volts on the high beam connector you have a pair of bad LED headlights. The passenger-side gets its power from the driver's side. And they could have burned out at different times, it's not always easy to notice when just one high beam isn't working when driving.
 
So I tested the headlight connector and there was no power on the high beam side of the connector. Turns out there was a loose connection on the A/B toggle switch for the plow/normal lights. Got them high beams working now!!
