help...i have a 95 and one of my headlights is out. now, the weird part is that when the low beam is on, it is out, but when the high beam is on, the low beam turns on along with the high beam, so the bulb itself still works. what do you think it could be? the low beam of my headlight works only when the high beam is turned on. it is just the passenger side...drivers side is fine.

Replace the bulb anyway...

the low beam bulb actually has 2 filaments... 1 high beam 1 low beam - the low beam burned out - replace the bulb, this is normal.

BTW are you using aftermarket "xenon" bulbs? they wear out very fast.
