Default 240 wagon headlight problems

I recently noticed that my right headlight was not working in my 1985 240 wagon. I checked the bulb, but it was fine. I turned on the high beams, and noticed that all the lights were on when I did this. The pictures below illustrate the problem:



Normal beams (notice that only the left side is working)


High beams (notice all lights are working, including both lights on right side)

I'm not sure what could be causing this problem. Any suggestions?

The low beam filament on your right headlight must be blown.

I used to have that problem on my 740 tubro. I used to tap the light and it fixed it, then when that didn't work. I would unplug the light contector then replug it in and it worked.

The wiring might also be bad.
