Check the wiring runnning to it. There might be a short in the wire.

Get a Volt Ohm Meter (multimeter), disconnect the light plug, turn on the lights and check the voltage at the positive wire on the plug with the negative probe grounded to the chassis or the negative terminal on the battery. If you don't have 12 volts at the plug, back track through the connections untill you do. If you have 12 volts at the plug, turn off the lights and check the resistance on the negative wire at the plug with the negative probe still grounded to the chassis or negative post, it should be 0 or very close to it. If it isn't, back track through the connections untill it is. Your problem will be between the 2 connections where your reading changed. The most likely location of the problem is going to be the light switch or the negative wire since it is affecting both the low beam circuit and the high beam circuit.
Good Luck!!
