Default Headlights won't turn on... lame

So I went out to my buddy's place last night to get the Jeep dirty, I went to leave and the head lights would not turn on... had to use my led lights on my bumper to get home... Now I[m searching for the problem. No bad fuses, dash and parking lights turn on, dash lights turn on and dim, high beam indicator rosk but no high beams...

It's a 2000 XJ sport... I just put new headlights, 85/80w bulbs, and a Putco harness in a couple weeks ago and they were working fine. Does this sound like a switch issue? I hate to tear the front apart to get the harness out. Anyway to test if it's the switch? Thanks
