The high beams and low beams use the same ground, so that seems unlikely.

I would be inclined to look for broken insulation on the low beam circuit. The increased electrical system load indicates that a lot of power is going somewhere. A wire just barely rubbed through will short to the body instead of lighting up the lights.

Do you have a fuse for your headlights?
