x2 on the above. temp fix, get the CRC with the little white tube attached and spray the crap out of the bottom of the stalk and hope some rolls onto the contacts. Long term pull it out and have a look at the contacts, they may be dirty, bent or worn away.
Even shorter term fix, jiggle the swtich hi low hi low but once going leave on low cause no garentee they will go if you have to dip them from hi.

Mine dose that from time to time (usual only one side at a time) and I find a new bulb fixes it. The bulbs are a two part item so when the low beam part goes the high still works

If the above suggestions fail. Pull out the multimeter and start some conituance testing.
