Why is my left headlight not working on high beam?

Why does my dash say dipped Headlight left?
If the dipped headlight error on your dash changes from “Dipped Headlight Left” to “Dipped Headlight Right” (or vice versa) then you know that the issue lies in either the bulb or ballasts. You should order one new bulb and one new ballast (using the links in this post) and replace the bad side and you should be good.
How long does the bulb failure warning light stay on?
The warning light can be ON for 30min, then automatically OFF for a couple of hours, then ON again. I checked all exterior lights when the warning light was ON: head lights (low and high beam), parking lights, turning lights, braking lights and rear night lights were all OK. Has anybody met the same problem as I have?
