help headlight problem!

ok so i went to go take the car out a couple nights and the driving lights on the passenger side did not come on. So i turned on the high beams and both lights worked. I figured something was wrong with the bulb. so i replaced them and i still have the same problem: driverside headlight works perfectly, Passenger side only high beam works.

the only thing i can really think of is the fuse. maybe replace it just in case, its only a couple bucks... otherwise I would say maybe the wiring is done?

I had that same problem:
Do you use the HyperWhite bulbs Like the 1000 - 7000 watt bulb. (whatever is the standard)
If so look inside the buld and on the connection to the buld, it might be burnt.
If yes your wire harness is fried, I had the same problem with the hyperWhites
You can put the stock ones in and take it to the dealer they will replace them and the harness.

If you are just using stock bulbs its probly a bad relay in the harness.
I hope this helps.

you still haven't answered the question if you have cedias or stock ones.. if you have cedias.. then check your wiring.
