It seems that this is a common problem. You need to clear the codes with a scan tool and see if that restores the low beam. If you do not have a scan tool then disconnect the negative cable at the battery for seven minutes and then reconnect. That should clear the codes and then your low beams should work again. Hope this helps. Have a nice day :O)

Most newer cars have a seperate fuse for each headlight low and high beam. check the fuses should be in the under hood fuseblock.

How do I fix problem with my right side low beam headlight on 2007 jeep Liberty

Check the wiring on that light. Also check the bulb with a couple of wires to the battery, or swap the bulb left to right to make sure the new bulb is okay.

I have a 2008 f250. one headlight (driverside) low beam is not working. I have checked both fuses 10amp and they are good. The flash to pass works and both lights on bright, right and left come on. the...

I am sure that a 12 Volt bulb means it needs 12 Volts. Since you changed the bulb to the other side, why not check the voltage in the working side and see what it reads?

Sometimes the turnstalk can interfere with the lighting. Try pushing the Hazard switch several times and see if the headlights straighten out. I read that too much goes through the turnstalk and that using the Hazards can derail a contact inside the stalk.

If this does not help, you may need a headlight relay in the powerbox. One contact may be dirty or burned down for the wire it feeds. Unless you have a single wire feeding both low beams to the headlights, I would bet the left and right side come out directly through the relay.

Headlight one side works on bright the other side works on dim

Try swapping the headlight bulbs or buying a known good bulb and testing that way. Sounds like a shorted bulb filament issue.
