      Probably OP tried to "jump the relay to keep your low beams on with the high beams" mod and did it wrong?

        alright, further inspection shows that fuses 1,2,13,14 are fine. They are sealed beams

            Which relay would that be dealing with? and when I took out the high beam fuses, and hit the highs, both outers went out. when i put in fuse number 2 and hit the highs, the drivers side inner came on (thats it) when i put in number 1 fuse and removed number 2 the highs did not do anything, just turned off outers.

                They are sealed beams. All 4 come on, on high's. So there is no need to do a relay jump.

                If you're really cheap. Just pull out the working lights on the drivers side and plug into the pass side to see if they work. Then when they do, go out and buy new lights.

                  Alright after pulling all of the lights out and checking them, all of them are 100% fine and actually pretty new, the wiring is all original
                  the fuses are all fine, and the K3 relay is not original, I think we found our suspect!!!

                      your bulb is burned out. my buddies was doing the exact same thing. we swapped in another set of sealed beams that i knew were good and it went away.

                            no because the relay is the wrong one

                              Hey there friend, I see youre completely ignoring nando. not ususally a good plan as hes a pretty smart guy.

                              Heres what you need to do, with that relay that you think is wrong in place, get a multi meter and unhook your suspect low beam. There should be 3 wires here if im not mistaken, turn on your low beams and measure the voltage of the wires, one of them should read 12V, the other 2 should read 0. Now turn on your highbeams and measure the remaining 2 wires, one of them should read 12V if the system is functioning properly.

                              If you find that with the high beams on one of the wires reads 12V, get a new lowbeam cause its burnt out.

                              If you find you still get 0 reading, get a new relay and try again.

                              and lastly i think your high beam on that side is just plain burnt out, you could check by using the one from the other side that you know works.
