Headlight light question

Went for a drive the other night and noticed that only one head light works when I use my high beams. I had a new set of bulbs, so I installed those and still the same. All fuses check out. Did a search with no luck. Anyone have this issue.


Cheers

So you get power to the fuse at the high beam part of the circuit for the headlight in question?

How about at that headlight bulb's socket at the High Beam contact?

I hope its just an easy solution for you - like a bad contact in the chassis plug or lamp socket corrosion. HAve you twisted the fuse(s), IIRC there are separate fuses for left and right, low and high beam (4) - so a bad contact at the fuse could cause your one headlight issue.
I had problems with the fuses in the past, so I always wiggle/twist them just to be sure.
that was before I replaced the fuse block ...
