Use your voltmeter. Pull the headlight. You'll notice three prongs coming out of the bulb--one's for high beam, one's for low and the third is ground. Connect the negative lead of your voltmeter to a ground--the front bumper works--and the positive to one of the three prongs. Turn your headlights on and test for voltage on the prongs. One will have voltage; that's the low beam. Now turn your high beams on and check the connector for voltage again. If there's power at the socket replace the bulb--you can't change one filament in a sealed beam bulb. No power? Broken wire, bad socket or bad switch.

How do you access the low beam headlight bulb on a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse?

Passenger side or driver side? BClear. The low beam is built into the same bulb as the high beam. Just pull the bulb out from behind the housing under the hood and replace it. If the low beam doesnt work you have to replace the whole bulb. They're not very expensive.
