Icon2 01 civic hx no high beams?

So I got an 01 hx and the high beams don't work so I thought maybe this model didn't come with them for some reason but my gf said she got them to turn on once but only the one time no more I've checked the fuses and this is the third set of bulbs so I'm kinda stumped here any ideas/help will be appreciated

the problem I had was when I xenon lights i week later they blew up but with the halogen they worked fine so i had to change my alternator cuz it was overcharging, thats what was causing the problem. but let me ask u this the high on your light...is the light blown or it just doesnt work on the car

Well I've heard that the low beam is a factory re call and you should be able to have that replaced at honda for free,I will take a look at the the switch and harness but if it burned up I would assume something else would have burned up also but thanks
