So my passenger headlight doesnt do full beam, i thought it must be a bulb and replaced them.
Now i find with the replacement bulbs it has made no difference. After checking for power i found that there is no power sent on full beam.
I checked all fuses, seem fine. What could be the problem? And how do i fix this? The last option being run some wiring from drivers light to passenger light, but again this is my last resort.

Replace fuse 12 and fuse 13 in the engine bay fuse box, they are both 10amp and one for each high beam.
Test and see if you have voltage at those 2 fuses
Test and see if you have voltage at the plug at the back of the headlight itll be the red wire. Also test the plug for the bulb.
