Thought I had a headlight out, when I click on the arm to go from dim to bight the light that was out comes on and the opposite ones goes out! Which one do I replace or do I replace both?

Guess you would have to replace bot. Try swapping them around to test and if problem remains same, it is not the bulbs that are faulty. You would need to check the fuses, switch and wiring circuit.
