    Headlights out on passenger side?

    Ok, so just noticed headlights are out on passenger side, both low & high beam. Both driver side lights function low and bright. I replaced the lights in June when I was going through the van.
    Anyone know what would cause headlights to go out on one side? Guessing it isn't as simple as headlight relay, checked the fuse but of course that is still intact since the driver side lights are on (duh, senior moment)
    thanks

    There are separate fuses for driver (LH) and passenger (RH) side headlights.

    Oh lordy , can't believe I did that. Going to blame that question on my 22 month old son and not sleeping enough.
    Thanks, nothing to see here move along.

    I clearly remember the DOH moment I had when I realized it, and that it totally makes sense.

    A little always beats R&R'ing all the other possible culprits first.

    Ok, so if it turns up the fuse is the problem, what caused the fuse to pop?
