Default K2 headlight

my right hand headlight has stopped working. i have been and bought a new bulb for it, but not got round to putting it in.

however on the way home just now, whacked the lights on high beam and thought 'ooh this is bright for one headlight'. when i got home had a look at them on high beam and hey presto the right bulb seems to work when put on high beam only. is there something i'm missing here?

thank you oh mighty org.
