Some cars have a fuse for high beams and one for low beams. Check those too.

haha, one of my high beams hasn't been working for a couple years right when i put projector headlights in, and didn't even think about checking the fuses. I thought the wiring was fucked, but today i checked my fuse and it was blown! lol its almost always the easiest fix.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

Also depending on what bulb you have can make a difference. I have H4 bulbs and sometimes the low beam filament burns out but the high beam still works. So i assume that you high beam filament could burn out also and leave you with just low beam!

If all that doesn't work, use a test light to see if power is going to the socket. Then if it isn't you can start tracing the wiring.
