Default Headlight Question

Ok, this might be a stupid question, and i feel stupid for asking it but i am going to go for it anyway. one of my headlights works on low beams, but both work on brights. So is there two different light bulbs per light or how do i fix it?

its possible you either have a loose wire at the connector on the back of the bulb or the low beam filament in the one that doesn't turn on is burnt out. try swapping headlights and see if the one thats good works plugged into the plug of the bad one. if it does you have a wiring issue, if it doesn't work you just need to get two new headlights

itsa dual philiment bulb so your low beam is blown , you need new head lights , check this thread to upgrade , id go with the auto pal's, zach could be right, give your wires a wiggle , and see if it comes on , but most likly if the high beam works its not gonna be a wire issue
