Default High Beam lights do not work

I wonder why high beam lights do not work? WHen I press the switch it tries to switch the light to high beam but then it switches back to low beam lights....
i have LED light from amazon....
what to do here? Like it tries to switch and then when it sees nothing happens it switches automatically back to low beam.

this is also the only code from ECU I get

B2133 235 High beam output shorted low HEADLAMP DIAGNOSTICS

I'm no genius, but I think you might have a short or other problem with your headlight. Did you at least look at the wiring for the light?
Swap it with the stock headlight, see if that works.

If the stock light works and your led's from amazon don't I'd suspect the light.

All your bike needs is a headlight to pass DOT minimums. Why would they GIVE you something they can sell you?
