one is ground, one is high and one is low. If you only get one then it's a fuse or open, if both work then you have bad bulb.
OTOH...just look really close at the bulb and see if one filament is blown.
If the glass is darkened so that you can see it, replace both bulbs.
I like the Sylvania Silverstone bulbs if you stick with 55/60W H4 bulbs or something like 9004 OEM bulbs. Otherwise if you're Euro you can get some darned nice Phillips Rallye bulbs with 90/100 and the stock wiring will handle it. The stock headlight relay will/may die in 50-60K miles so it's up to you if you want to relay the bulbs for higher power.
