Default Low Beam Headlight

Noticed today on my 2008 Ultra that the headlight is not working on low beam. It does work on the high beam. Is it just the bulb that needs to be replaced or do I have a blown fuse or some other problem? It is the first time it has gone out on me.

It's a dual filament bulb and you burned out the low beam. Just replace

Very common to have the low beam burn out before the high beam. Your low beams are on almost all the time you are riding so it gets, by far, more usage.
