the tool in your picture is pointing to the wipers switch, the high beams function is always with the Turn Signals switch, usually on the left of the steering column, unless your car is Right Hand Drive, and the Turn Signals Switch is on the Right side of the steering column.

Yeah, way back in my early days of Jaguar stewardship, the right outboard lamp went dark. Simple. In domestic cars, it is a burnt out seal beam. got a new one, swapped it out. Oh,oh, still dark. Checked the wires and found a questionable ground. Fixed it. the lights came on more ways than one. Jags are different!!! I left the new unit in place. it seems a tad brighter. Second lesson. new bulbs are brighter than old ones.
Another time, the lights were random as to lighting up!!! Checked fuses. Seemed OK.
One fix. Remove the fuse box from it's holder and scrub the backside clean.
Or, still another time, merely roll the fuses in situ. I call it the 'finger roll" after past basket ball great center, Wilt Chamberlain, famous shot to basket.
