Firstly check the bulbs and then check the plug with a multimeter to confirm there is power to switch switch on the bulb.

If it is a combined bulb, it wil have 3 pins. 1 common connector and 1 pin for either dip or brights.

Measure the working light plug with the multimeter ND then do the same for the one giving you hassles. You should be able to confirm if there is power on both pins that way.
