burning smell

I have a 98 forester. I noticed a burning smell coming from the driver side headlight. The low beam has stopped working, but the high beams work. When I try to touch the wire to try to get the light to work, it turns on but the burning smell shows up. I don't see any smoke. But when I shut off the lights and turn them back on, that headlight does not turn on. Only the passenger side does. I'm pretty sure its an electric type of burning... Any ideas of what it could be? It can be a short somewhere. The switch in the car works fine.
