It sounds like your LED's are overloading the high-beam circuit. The headlights on your '19 are driven by "Smart FET's" in the IPDM and don't have fuses, the FET simply shuts down if it's overloaded. Use a Bosch Box relay from the parts store to drive the light bar. Wire it like this using the terminal numbers stamped on the relay:
30 - Battery power with an inline fuse for the light bar
85 - Trigger circuit (in this case the high beam)
86 - Ground
87 - Light bar +
87a (if present) - Open, unused
