Have three old bricks ( 90,91,92), and have thus far a good run without the ubiquitous electrical gremlins ( or any for that matter.!). My workhorse daily 92 245 has no highbeams, low beams normal and all other lights.. strange thing is the dash indicator lights up as normal when I click the stalk..only no light..( swapped out both Bosch relays with ( untested) Bosch relays…any input or advice greatly appreciated…😊

Check the high beam wires and connectors at the headlight. The wires can degrade from years and heat. If all wires look good consider the switch might be defective.
Test for high beam power at the relay.
I have had both problems with 240s.
