HELP, Headlight doesn't work?
Hey guys, I have an 01 Ford F250 crew cab lariet diesel with around 189,000 miles on it. Just recently (last couple nights) my passanger side headlight as stopped working when the low beams are on. The driver side headlight and fog lights on both sides work fine though. And when I turn the highbeams on - both headlights work fine? So obviously I guess its not the bulb being as it works on high beams. Any thoughts as to what is wrong with it. Thanks.

yep guess I read something that wasn't there
Check the fuses (easier than the bulb) if that's not it check the bulb.It has two elements (low and high beam).One can burn out without the other

Its a burnt bulb. If the fuse was bad, none of the headlights would work. Easy fix, new bulb, but change them out in pairs, because if u only change one, the other one will burn out shortly after that.

No offense, but I'd like to disagree here. I've changed my drivers side bulb 2 times now, but never touched the passenger side (at least until I opened my big mouth. Now we'll have to see what Monday brings. )
