As Anders stated, it is likely because of the orange relay, located in the fuse box by the firewall behind the antifreeze reservoir.
In addition to the lack of high beams, I also got a periodic message on the SID about a headlight failure.
I did a saabnet search for "orange relay", and from reading other posts, opened the relay, reflowed the solder to several suspect solder joints, and the problem went away. Much cheaper than the relay.
Camm posted some great pictures on the web on the fix. Thanks Camm! Linnk follows:
