    Most likely just have to replace the bulb, which has two separate filaments for high and low beam. Since low beam is used more often, the low beam filament burns out first while the high beam filament keeps working.

    if the bulb is not the culprit then also check fuses under the hood. There is seperate fuses for each light and each circuit(hi/low), atleast in my '97 anywho.
