My old Au did this, turned out to be a section of wiring had rubbed through the insulation under the battery tray and was arcing to earth when the high beams wrer flicked on. Eventually it decided to melt the fuse block...

beside the battery is a relay block with a lid and 4 relays inside...

one is horn, one is low beams, one is high beams, one is starter...

tried another combo switch to see if that fixes the problem? If you have a spare that is...

What you describe is correct... When you go to high the low beams elements turn off and the high beam elements in the low beam bulbs turn on...

So the low beam relay works, sounds like the trigger circuit or the relay for the highs is stuffed...

Cheers,
Tim
