S13 headlight problem.....

Im having some problems with my headlights. Only one of them is working.
The driver side works fine, but the pass side, gets no power at all, and when i turn on the HI Beams, the driver side goes off.
I went out and did an electric test. there is no power reaching the pass side, but when i switch to Hi Beams, i got a very dim light from the tester.

Does anyone know, what the problem is. I checked all the fuses, there all fine. Is there a relay or a light switch besides the one on the steering wheel column.
Please help me, i need both light working.

LMK

theres a relay right next to the passenger side light. it says something cont. on it i cant remember off hand. but yea thats probly your problem. if not check all the other ones and then go over to the drivers side and check the ones in that box. and if its none of those then its your motor. but i doubt that. probably just an old relay.

your low beam is blown.... i thought that most pple would know that...when you go to buy your new headlight check out the difference between an 1157 (duel element) and an 1156 (single element) tail light bulbs. your headlight is liike an 1157 low beam and high beam
