First check the bulb, then your light switch.

When you turn on the high beam, only 1 side comes on or both sides?

If one side then all your low beam bulb probably blown, just change the bulb.

if both comes on then check your wiring..

cheers

your left bulb is the only one that works on low beam. Thats how the original wire harness is made. Therefore for sure your left lightbulb aint working on lowbeam.
Tricky to change thow, I find that the best way is to remove the screen, and the plastics around the speedo / tach, and access it from the top.
