what is needed is a meter to measure the voltage at the headlights..your vehicle I believe has the rectangle shaped headlights..
the socket and the pins get corroded, there may also be bad high beam filament ...
If one headlamp is bad you must replace both as they do work together...placing dielectric grease on the bulb connections help keep the corrosion under control...............
your interior lamps are a separate circuit this would be the dimmer resistor which is part of the headlamp switch...if you dim the interior lamps too much this causes this to fail, as the resistor/dimmer gets very hot ..
