So last night we got three feet of snow. When I turned my car on to warm it up, I noticed my passenger side bulb wasn't working... However, when I unlock the car with the fob, and also when I turn in the high beams, the bulb works. Just the regular low beam on that bulb is not working.

I can't replace t​​​​​he bulb with all this snow on the ground, so I unfortunately made an appointment with the dealership tomorrow morning... I'm hoping it's just the bulb. I did just replace the drivers side about a month or so ago.

Any ​​​​insight to what else it could be?

When you unlock the car with the fob, it's the high beams that flash.

Most probably cause is the low beam is burn out, and might well be an example of why it is best to replace both bulbs when that other one burn out a month or so ago.

Other possible causes - bad connection at headlight, wiring problems etc..

The high beams with the fob is what my friend suggested... I KNEW I should have replaced both. It was a funny story why I didn't. Well I mean, I only bought one, but I though hmm maybe I'll go back and get another... But when I got the old bulb out (after scratching my arm up getting under the wheel), the red rubber ring of the old bulb stuck in the hole. So for like 15 minutes I was trying to push another bulb against the old red ring and getting annoyed that it wasn't working. By the time I figured it out I was like GOOD, I'M DONE.

Yeah that problem with the red o-ring sticking in the receptacle is a problem a few owners have encountered. And being where it is located behind that shield, it's a bit difficult to lay eyes on the situation.

Check fuse #66, underhood.

Yep, always replace the headlight bulbs in pairs, they get lonesome and burn out in pairs , oh and their sold in pairs.
I believe we've all changed just one and seen, that wasn't a great idea!
The weather is turning, its going warm up and melt next week!

My main curiosity is how can a dual bulb burn out only on one function like that? What's making the highbeam work, while the low isnt?

Oldblue

The filaments are separate, the low one burnt out.

66 is all good, unfortunately :/ that would've been great.

That is REALLY COOL to see, thank you! Man, now if someone just had a garage I could use for like an hour, I wouldn't have to take it somewhere tomorrow.
