They are a double element bulb so either u have a bad bulb and the high/or low is out otherwise you have a wiring issue

your headlights have 2 fillaments, one for your brights, one for you low beams. one of them is burnt out. try replacing it, if it does not work it looks like you have a wiring issue

pull the questionable bulb out first, if one of the springs are broken, or there is a piece freely moving in the bulb, it just needs replacing, if not, check your wiring...

Swap headlight bulbs. If the working highbeam follows the bulb, then replace the bulb. If not, follow wires.

Or maybe you should top off your headlight fluid

I think the bulb is the more likely culprit, and much easier to rule-out than a wiring problem. Confirming that the bulb is good before checking the wiring is more logical in my opinion.

Its not "just a burned out light bulb". I had the same problem. Its your wiring!!!! Go back and re-wire.
