There are two elements in every headlight. One is for low beam (normal usage) and one is for the high beam. The high beam element tends to burn out sooner than the low beam, and it is very possible that one of your high beam elements has simply burned out. The solution is simple. Replace the offending headlight and you'll have both high beams back.

Why do my headlights turn off when I turn the high beams on?

Your headlights turn off when you turn the high beams on because you have a defective switch. You need to have a mechanic replace the high beams switch. It is a simple replacement.


Why would the high beams on a 1994 Thunderbird work when the low beams do not?

Headlights have two filaments; one for low beams and one for high beams. There is a good chance that the low beams are burnt out. This doesn't necessarily mean that the high beams won't work. However, it's not too common for both low beams to burn out at the same time. Of course, it could be a fluke. I would replace the headlights with new ones and then go from there.
