Hey guys i got a question.

I got 1 high beam working and 1 not working. Already checked to see if its the globe but not a globe problem

i got told that the VX might have 2 relays 1 for each high beam light and one relay might need replacing ?

other wise im thinking elec wiring problem

Have a look in the owners manual or under the lid of the fuse box in the engine bay for the relay location.
If you find that it has two, swap them and see if your problem moves from one light to the other. If it does, you have found your problem.

1 relay but each side has it's own fuse. If the low beam works but high beam doesn't than most likely it's a globe issue.

Swap the globes over and see if the problem moves.

Each side has one fuse per headlamp which does low/high beam and fog lights.

You could try swapping the low and high beam relays over but it's not likely the problem.

if each side has one fuse that covers all 3 globes (hi/lo/fog)...then it must be the globe, otherwise the low beam and fog light wouldnt work either

Wont be fuse or relay if the other high beam light is ok.
I'd be checking the plug at the lights. The plug at the globe its self and the Light Green wire
that connects the high beam circuit to the relay.
