Check the ground cluster mm1 just inboard of the right headlight near the radiator. If that looks okay there is a common 2 terminal connector near the battery that supplies current for the low beams on separate wires.
There is no relay, all current goes through stalk switch (doh!), could be switch is faulty.
Have you checked your headlight for rock chips. Here in Seattle where it snows maybe once a year for a day or two they let people drive with studded tires from November to March chewing up the freeways en mass. I end up replacing at least one bulb during the winter. The bulb dims and I know I need to replace it.

The fronts drain down the A pillar and I believe out the slots in the rocker panels (not positive about this). The rears drain out through the side vents behind both passenger doors.
