I just noticed it today that my driver side (low beam) headlight was out. Passenger headlight was fine. But when I turned on high beam, all four lights came on, including driver side low beam. So my headlights are ok. I suspect something is wrong with my headlight switch. I have had a DMC-CA headlight switch for about three years.
Has anyone experienced something similar or how to fix????
Thank you in advance.

Hey Ryan. The low beam also has a high beam filament in the bulb. So it sounds like the low beam filament has burned out, but the high beam filament is still good. I think you just need to replace whole low sealed beam. Might as well replace both because the other side might go out shortly after.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....

Thanks Chris
I didn't realize that it had two filaments. I had those lights for 3 years also so it's about time. I will change them out today.
Thanks again

Thank you. It works
Thanks guys.
This morning, I bought a pair of Sylvania SilverStar 4656 from AutoZone for $54 and they worked like a charm.
Saved me from taking out my headlight switch unnecssarly.
Thanks again

Awesome! Yes, I was about to post the same advice. Had this happen to me last year. I was chasing a switch issue for a while as well.
