I have a 2004 Dodge quadcab with Hemi.
I had a set of brighter headlights put in about a week ago. Of Course the
drivers side one has either burnt out is defective or I've got some major
problems. The high beams both work as does the passenger side low beam.
These bulbs are 100w/85w blue type bulbs. I wanted to check the relays.
Where are they located they're not in the fusebox near the battery? I am
going to go out now and try changing bulbs.  I drive on regular roads,no
off-roading if that helps.

Try putting the factory bulb back in the driver's side and see if it is
still out. If you don't have the factory bulbs anymore swap the blue bulbs
left to right and see if the problem goes to the passenger side. If it is a
bulb problem you don't need to troubleshoot the relays.
The blue bulbs that people buy to replace the factory white bulbs do not
increase light output. The only reason people buy them is for looks. They
look more like the super-expensive HID lighting systems found on high-end
cars, but they actually produce more glare and less usable light. If you are
more concerned about the way the headlights look, then use them. If you want
to be able to see better, get a good quality white replacement bulb like
Sylvania Xtravision.

Thanks for the advice nosey. I had to buy an extension tonight to remove the
d/s headlight assembly and while at autozone bought a set of "Night Brites"
to replace the headlight bulbs. These are whiter that stock bulbs and I was
suprised they were only 60/55 watts. Oh Yes,the d/s bulb was blown it was
cloudy on the inside. No relay or wiring problem. I'll bet when the guy put
it in he touched my glass .                                  Hp
