How do you know what is wrong with your 2000 buick regal ls when you have high beam headlights but not low beam?

If your bright high beam headlight on driver's side doesn't work but the low beam does do you still need to replace bulb?
Use your voltmeter. Pull the headlight. You'll notice three prongs coming out of the bulb--one's for high beam, one's for low and the third is ground. Connect the negative lead of your voltmeter to a ground--the front bumper works--and the positive to one of the three prongs. Turn your headlights on and test for voltage on the prongs. One will have voltage; that's the low beam. Now turn your high beams on and check the connector for voltage again. If there's power at the socket replace the bulb--you can't change one filament in a sealed beam bulb. No power? Broken wire, bad socket or bad switch.
