Headlight issues!

Low beams: only one headlight works.
High beams: both headlights work.

never had this issue before in last 6 years..

Will replacing the ‘broken’ headlight fix the issue? Or is this an electrical/fuse issue?

Any pointers?

Its two different filaments in the bulb. I'd pull the bulb and look at it to see if its burnt.

 

Check your fuses too.

Who is this guy, and why is he relevant?

Because he's a friend of mine, owns two 1st Gens, and does a lot of work on them himself...

 

It's probably just a bulb. Swing by a parts store and pic one up. $15 maybe. They are hard to visually exam now days but cheap to buy. You can always use a spare bulb. Much better than a $125 ticket.

Its more than likely the bulb. Don't touch the new one with your bare fingers, use a glove or a clean rag. Don't loose the spring clip that holds it in, they do like to come out of their pivot point. Splurge for the dielectric grease also

 

thanks it was the bulb..
Honestly hadn’t realized there were two separate circuits in each bulb - crazy!

 

Super helpful, thanks
