Default Simple headlight question

My passenger low beam is out BUT when I go to high beam all four go on. Can some one explain why my low beam does not work but on high beam it does?

Thanks!

Your "low beam" lamps are 2 filament bulbs. When the "hi beam" is turned on, the "hi" filament is powered but the "low" filament is de-energized. You have a bad "low" filament in the lamp. Replace it.
