Default DRL and High beams not working

I have had my LED DRL from vleds on for about 2 months now and it has been working fine.
Just the other day the leds went out and they don't seem to work anymore. I tried using high beam and it still doesn't work. What i did was put the stock bulbs back in to see if it works and still no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to fix this?

Thanks

When you replace your DRL with LEDs you lose your high beam function. The stock DRL bulbs (9005) double as your high beams. They are just at a lower Watt when you have your DRLs on as opposed to high beams.

yeah thats how i fixed mine. i just replaced the 15amp fuse in the box. I noticed the drl went out because i kept on spamming my high beams with my drl the other night and it causes my fuse to blow. bought a pack of cheap fuses at kragen for like 2 - 3 bucks
