When I dim my light to low beam the bulb on the left side does not shine. What I have to do to replace the low beam bulb on the left side? Can you send me pictures on how to replace the low beam bulb on the left side?

Check fuse and relay under hood fuse box first. It might have a pin under hood that you remove to remove headlight to replace it would be right out in open and easily spotted. Here is a link to a great article from this site with pictures on how to replace a headlight.
