I ran my defroster for the first time ever since I bought the truck a couple of years ago. I don't know how long it has been since it was used as the dust was flying through the cab for at least 5 minutes. I noticed that my light for the speedometer was much brighter than usual. Then I noticed that the right low beam headlight was out (high beam working).
Do you think it's the bulb (Sylvania 2D1) or a fuse or something else?

Check for power to the right side headlight socket with a volt meter, then work your way backwards through the circuit.

Re: Right Low Beam Headlight Not Working (but high beam is)
Thank you. Checked it with meter and it was getting power for both low and high beams. Replaced the headlight and it now works. Thank you for your help!!!
