Welcome to the forum, voltage to high and low beams is hot all the time. On and off, high and low is controlled on the ground circuit. Your headlamp switch is part of the ground circuit. Pink is ground for high beam at the headlamp switch. Dark blue is ground for low beam at the switch. Right now, I think the problem is the headlamp switch or the high beam ground circuit to the switch.
