Turn headlights on. Make sure low beams come on.
Switch to high beam. Still no light, of course?
Find Pins 5 (Red-Yel Wire) and 13 (wht-blk) of dimmer combo switch . Jump 5 to 13. Got highs?
If you get high beam, it's bad contact between those 2 pins. You may be able to clean or fix. However, the flaw in headlight wiring of that generation where current flows on thin wire over a convoluted path (ask 4crawler) and though the dimmer-combo switch will shorten it's life again.
If you still don't get highs, jump pin 5 directly to shiny, bare metal ground. Got highs? If yes, it's bad connection between pin 13 and ground.

Rad4Runner as always thorough as heck
x3 on your switch
to replace,
disconnect battery
pull steering wheel,
remove column cover
disconnect multi pin connector (usually bolted under the steering column)
pull switch,
replace and repeat
you may find there is a difference between the combo switch for a tilt column and non tilt
