Default Rather strange headlight issue...

Hey guys, the last few days have been kinda weird. its been pretty cold, and idk if that has any relation to my problem but....

ok first my passenger side headlamp went out. the brights were still both fine. but then 2 days ago, my bright on my driver side went out, with the normal lamp still working. so now in either setting, i get one light, but either way i'm running a "padiddle" xD

so my question, is that since one of the lights still works and everything i think it rules out being a switch/fuse/relay problem, and maybe the low beam part of the bulb just burnt out? do you think its a bulb problem? if so i mean ill be going tomorrow to get me some new bulbs.

let me know what you think.

If you wanna get fancy you can buy new housings from 4wheel parts that allow you to put an actual bulb in and get HID'S

I have been looking around for the replacement housings so I can go with some HID's, including looking at 4wheelparts, do you have a link by chance?
