strange headlight problemo.

my friend has a civic(94 i think? not really important) but one of his headlight bulb somewhat blew off. BUT! the funny thing is when it's high beamed the light comes back on at high beam but not on low beam. this is so strange? anyone know why? it's just his right headlight that acts so strange..

i would assume it's a dual filament bulb, and only one filament blew? he's gotta replace the bulb either way.

The H4 bulbs that our cars use are double filament, one filament for low-beam and one for highs. Since we mostly use low, they should burn out faster and leave our highs intact. You'll have to replace the whole bulb.
