i checked both bulbs ..they both work in the drivers side... only the passenger side low beam is not working.... they are 9007 cb bulbs.... the cb is for the clear blue ... from reading online i have a feeling it is the headlight switch.... any other ideas

Thats a good question. Id have to look at a haynes manual or something. You know what you can do is take your bulbs out and grab an ohm meter. Measure the resistance between the high and low beams when your light switch is on. You should see a closed circuit, close to 0 ohms, when the light is on. If you have an open then you know its a relay or fuse.

well you know there is a fuse. It might be on the fuse block in the engine compartment
