Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'switch' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'switch' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check against each other' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

I checked the high beam fuses #A1 & A2, they are fine, for good measure, switch them around.

I changed my switch, which seemed to help initially, but it has also worked (or not) intermittently since then as well.

Which pins would I check against each other for the headlight?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My 01 996 has the passenger headlight out. I thought it might be the bulb, so I bought another bulb. Put in the new bulb and it's still out. Switched he old bulb with the driver side and it works.
I checked the high beam fuses #A1 & A2, they are fine, for good measure, switch them around. I checked the low beam fuses, A9 and A 10. They are good, switch them around as well. No luck, passenger headlight is still out.
All the other lights inside the headlight works.
What can I do to trouble shoot this issue?
It could be as simple as a dirty/corroded connector. Once you've cleaned everything up and made sure you've got good connections, you can move on to the Ballast/Transformer or igniter... Good Luck
Look for "electrical contact cleaner" in a spray can of some variety. You can find them on Amazon, or if you have a Fry's Electronics local they usually have them there as well.
Well, what do you know, I drove home this evening and when I got home, I noticed I had two beams of light shining... I took a look and the passenger light is now working. I hope it's not an intermittent problem. That would suck.
I've had problems with my passenger side as well. I changed my switch, which seemed to help initially, but it has also worked (or not) intermittently since then as well. I'm pretty sure it's a connection problem in one of the plugs but haven't figured it out yet.
