the passenger side headlight is out but it wasn't the bulb, it was because of a blown fuse. replaced the fuse and when i restarted the car, the brights were on no matter what i did with the stalk. started driving, fuse blew, and i was able to switch to regular headlights again (of course with the passenger side one being out).
is it:
wiring issue?
something in the column (part of the brights switch perhaps?)
bad relay?
something else?

didn't know if this is a known failure and so maybe an easy diagnosis and fix. any help you guys can provide is appreciated
