I would like to add something in general about fuses and erratic electrical systems. Always buy the expensive (I want to say ceramic, but I am having a block right now) fuses for your car. The cheap ones that are made of cheap plastic have a coefficient of expansion (thermal) such that with a temperature increase, they deform (over a long time) and the spring-loaded holder is no longer sufficient for a good electrical connection. One of the first things that I do on all my german cars is to make sure they dont have the cheap fuses in them. Its a cheap fix. Once again, its one of those things where I cant really explain which fuses i'm talking about, but if you pay attention, and see them next to each other you can see a clear difference. Maybe someone else knows what I am talking about and can explain better.

Make sure that the fuse to the high beam on the bad side isn't blown or (the more probable problem) corroded.
