Right headlight out...or is it?

Hey everyone, ok the other day my friend told me my front right headlight wasnt working...so sure enough it was out. So i take it home and try 2 different bulbs and they both dont work, then I turn my brights on and it works...the lows dont work on the right side but the brights do, anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks.

its a recall, bring the car to your honda dealership and have it fixed. There is a problem with the wiring and it burns out the low side of the blub.

Do I need to print anything off for them to do it, like recall info off the net? Thanks.

just bring the car to the dealer, they'll figure out if the car applies. Just tell them you have a headlight problem and you heard it was a recall, they have all the info there.
