High Beam issue.

Anyone know why one of my high beams might not work? I have the bi-xenon headlights. My passenger side does not work. I changed out the bulb, but it still does not work. I hope this is not a electrical issue.

Thanks.

I'm 99% sure that the highbeams are just the regular beams that aim higher when you pull the stick back. Having said that, perhaps the motor that flips the beam up is broken.

Hmm not sure if that's the case. Cuz when my high beam works, but just on one side. So when I do flip the handle back or forward to keep the high beams on. Only the drive side works.

With Bi-Xenon headlights, a magnetic solenoid attached to a cutoff shield is lowered out of the way of the light source, as to reveal the rest of the beam.
Means, it is the same bulb (which in this case obviously is not working).

I'd check the ballast/ igniter and the FRM. Get the code-reader out....
