Low Beams Good, High Beams Bad
On my 62 Starfire, I just installed the front grill and headlights. Low beam, both outside light are fine. Hit high beam switch, kills low beam and high beam does not light on the right side. Left side is OK. Head light switch and headlights are new, both ground wires on either side are connected to chassis sheetmetal.

Similarly, if both low beams work, your grounds are good. Have you verified that the high beam filaments in the three bulbs that don't work are, in fact, good? If so, then check the contacts in the headlight connectors. Chances are they are corroded.

I have low beam (outside light) on both sides. High beam switch turns off both headlights on the right side, not just the high beam headlight. Both headlights work correctly on right side.

Remove the connectors to the bulbs and verify a good contacts are in each plug. They shoul not be burned, pitted, or bent. If the connector comes off easily, then that could indicate a bad connection.
Check the bulbs themselves with an ohmmeter - new ones could be bad even.
