One headlight out and high beams gone at once.!

So I am going to the liquor store and I notice my lights seem dim. So i try the highbeams and they dont work. The daytime running lights work fine and so does every other lighting system. sooooo , When I arrive home and see my headlights on the garage and my drivers side is out. I checked the fuse for that side and surely it blows. I replace it with a spare. And it blows again.

I'm guessing this is a ballast :-( ?

But why the heck would I lose my high beams as well.

Or am I missing something ?


I also read this thread.

And if its just a ballast there is one locally for a bill and I think I may do what is said in that thread about the rubber seal to both sides when I remove bumper.

But aaaa, does anyone know why the whole high beam thing has occurred.
