Possibly the low beam/high beam switch itself is bad??

Sounds like a loose or bad connection somewhere in the circuit for the High beams.

High and Low beams use the same ground so if it was a ground problem you would see the same thing on Low beams as well

may also just be the filament in the headlight bulb itself.

i had one that used to go out and if i smacked on it would make
contact and work again until i hit a hard enough bump in the road
to make it go out again.
