Hi Beam Headlight Issue? 1996 Saab 900SE

Hi
We recently (last week) bought a 1996 Saab 900 SE Turbo - 5 door with about 166,000 miles on it. We bought it as an "As Is" purchase from a small local car dealer at a cheap price. This is our family's 10th Saab (the newest is a 1999 - not so new)
Last night I noticed that when I turned the hi-beams by pulling the left stalk switch and noticed that the driver's side headlight went out but the passenger's side got brighter. I figured it needed a new bulb so I bought one and put it in. No change.
Ideas about this?
As far as I can tell all other electrical devices in the car work although there are a few left to check - the antenna doesn't work and I noticed that the motor isn't activated (I hope to replace that this week), I also noticed that the lower front fog light on the passenger's side is out but I assume that is a bulb at this point. I did notice that the radiator fan comes on and off quite a bit for short durations when the car is idling and I noticed that at the same time, the headlights seem to dim when the fan comes on.
Thoughts about my electrical system and/or the headlights??
thanks
