What could be the cause?
Any help would be great!

It's a dual filament bulb. One filament in the light not working is burnt out.

Almost certainly a burnt out globe, as WeeYari wrote.

Unless funds are tight, I recommend replacing both globes. Most parts places sell globes packaged as pairs, or sell cheap (low quality) single globes. Buy a pair, replace both, and keep the still working globe as an emergency spare.

Now you get to find out what a pain in the ass replacing the headlight bulb on the HB is.

Same thing always happens to me. One is out but they still work with the high beams on. Just replaced both headlight bulbs for the first time ever (I always had someone else do it for me) and it's actually not that terrible. Yes, it's annoying that you have to pull out the bumper but I did it in 45 minutes!

I bought these a while ago on ebay, I haven't installed them yet. The listing is no longer available but, the item was "2 Bulbs H4 HB2 9003 LED Headlight Kit Combo 2600W 398000LM High Low Beam 6000K "

I guess I'll install them very soon!

Any good DIY videos on how to replace the bulbs?
