Default Right low beam headlight not working

I seem to be getting only 11.5 volts to the right headlight while I'm getting 11.9 volts to the left one. I've checked the fuse and it's fine, however I noticed that I'm not getting any voltage to the fuse. I'm thinking there's a wire that needs to be replaced, any advice? Thanks in advance.

So there is 11.5v at the bulb, but no power before the fuse? How does that work? What fuse are you talking about? And have you tried just simply changing bulbs?

no, I measured the 11.5 volts at the plug with it disconnected....the left headlight which is working fine measured 12 volts with it disconnected at the plug. Nevermind the fuse, is there anything else that can could cause the drop in voltage at the plug?

what bulbs did you have in there? Any high wattage bulbs will probably melt/short your stock harness. IE: blue 90watt bulbs

so you have voltage at the bulb plug but none at the fuse box???
if you have voltage at the plug then your bulb is $hit

uhh... 11.5volts will just cause your bulb be DIM... not completely off... cuz.. 0.5 volts out of 12 is not going to turn any device off.. cuz the percentage drop is not great enough. and.. if you really think about it, rechageable battaries are usually at 1.2 volts, where the disposable batteries are 1.5 volts.. i mean.. the rechagables works just fine in MOST applications.. therefore.. yea.. go get a new bulb.. cuz.. that might be the problem why it's not working.
