Default headlight issue

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the passenger side headlight. The lights flip up just fine, and the normal beams work just fine. However, when I turn on the high beams the passenger side high beam doesn't come on. I switched to LEDs less than a year ago, so I can't imagine that the bulb has failed. Also visual inspection of the bulb doesn't reveal any issues. The connector is still firmly attached. Anyone have any idea what's wrong with it?

Have you checked Fuse 9 in the underhood fuse box?

Check your fuse. I have also had expensive name-brand LED bulbs fail in less than 2 months, so don't rule it out either. The LEDs themselves may last forever but the supporting circuitry don't.
