Help with lights

Hi my passenger side headlight not working but my high beam does. So assumed it was just the bulb. Bought new h3 bulb and still nothing. Check all fuses under driver side foot well and in the engine. Any ideas ? Could it be a relay? Any pics or help would be appreciated

What kind of headlight housings do you have that take a H3 fog light bulb? The stock housings use a 9007.

If you have a multimeter you need to start checking for voltage on the low beam wire and tracing it all the way back.

More than likely just the cheap lights themselves. Relay internal is bad or whatever they use to trigger their lights.. Friend's grand am with these Spyder style lights is having the same problem. But it's no high beam...

But to make sure plug a 9007 bulb into the stock harness on the passenger side and see if that works in low beam. If it does then it's the lights.
