With the headlights on LOW, use a test light or voltmeter to check for power on the DARK/BLUE wire at the headlight socket (on the light that does not work on LOW).

With the headlights on HIGH, use a test light or voltmeter to check for power on the PINK wire at the headlight socket (on the light that does not work on HIGH).

If power is present, the connect terminals may be damaged or spread apart and not making a good connection.

If no power, (for LOW beam) check the DRK/BLU wire splice #105 which is located in the Forward Light Harness about 75cm from the horn connector.

If no power, (for HIGH beam) Check the PINK wire splice #107 which is located in the engine harness at the left rear of the engine, 13cm from cooling fan connector breakout.

Thanks.
Let me know how this goes.
