Default headlights not working

well i went to crank my truck a hour ago and noticed the lo beam wasnt working on my driver side, and the hi beam bulbs was slightly lit. i thought it may be my HID's so i unhooked it from the driver side but no change, so then i flicked the hi beams on, pass side came on , driver side didnt, flicked them back off and same result, pass lo beam on like norm and hi slightly lit, driver side lo beam not on and hi beam slightly lit. i searched for a fuse or relay but couldnt find any fuses blow and i dont see any relay labled for headlights/headlamps. any help would be greatly appreciated

You have aftermarket HID's ? Try switching left to right low beams and see if it works. I see a lot of bulb and balast failures on the aftermarket kits.

No ****.. I have the same issue but the hi's come fine. My set up is 2 low and 4 hi, maybe it's the low beam ballast. I've checked every fuse and relay, that maybe it.
