The left hand side is okay. I have checked the fuse and the bulb, both are in good conditions. Can there be some other problems? Thanks

Hi,

There is a separate fuse for each side and for each beam selection. Did you check the fuse for the right low beam? Also, I need to know if the lights on your vehicle are HID.

I attached a pic below of the low beam (right side) fuse which indicates location. If you haven't checked that one, do so. If you have, confirm there is power to the fuse itself.

Here are a few links you may find helpful:

Mine is HID. I check both fuse and even swap them to make sure whether it is fuse problem. When the left headlight fuse was replaced with right headlight fuse, the left headlight was still working, which mean the fuse is good.

I measure the voltage between the two feet, it is 12.19 volts, so the problem must be the bulb. However, the bulb seemed okay since the filament was still good. But, the resistance between the two bulb feet is too high, can't be measured. I would buy a new bulb to see whether it would work.

The resistance between the bulb feet should be 2.88 ohm, if the bulb is 50 watts, isn't it?

When I check a bulb, I check for continuity. Are you able to switch the two bulbs to see if it works with the other?
