Stupid car! The passenger-side headlight won't come on when I turn them on, but when I switch the high-beams on it comes on along with the high-beam. 
Any idea where I should look for the gremlin first? |

| Replace light. That element is burned out. (Outer light is dual element IIRC) |

Really? That's news to me. I actually hope that's it because that's an easy fix. Anyone else know if that's true or is Paully just smoking too much of the good stuff?  |

:sniff: Paully CAN'T smoke any of the good stuff, trying to get that Civil Service position (Intel Analyst) in SoCal!! AND, Paully has been smoke-free for almost 6 months!
(where's the dancing baby smilie doin' the Cabbage Patch when you need it??!!)
First though, (sorry I didn't think of this earlier) check your connector for that side bulb for corrosion, etc. and check to make sure none of the wires have come loose by the headlights switch.
Final check though (before buying) would be to switch bulbs, side to side. If it still doesn't work, buy a new lamp. |

I doubt you'd be smoking anything "good" if it resulted in you talking about diagnosing a headlight problem.
Unless of course he fancies taking ritalin.
