Hi beam not working cayenne s

[dhadden]

I have a 2005 cayenne S and the hi beams don't work. Replaced the bulbs and the short wire bundle between car body and headlight. Removed the mounting plate to tray for wire connector. That fixed the turn signal issue. But now thinking there is a short in the connector on the back of the headlight itself but it is near impossible to pull out to check at least I can't get it out..... Any suggestions on how to bypass the connector?
all the other lights seem to work okay other than the brights and it is bizzare that both brights don't work...

If it is both high beams, I would check back at the switch and relay to start troubleshooting. If those are both OK, then it would be time to start checking the connections.

With the xenon cornering lights, if one does not work, the both go out...but you should get a failure warning on your dash. What does it say?
