Default Headlight problem

Hey there. My father owns a 1999 BMW F650CS and it seems like his headlight is either broken, going out or needs replaced. When you start the bike and turn on the headlights, you can barely even see it. The light is so dim that it barely projects enough light to see a foot in front of you. Also, when you turn the hi-beam switch to the on position, it doesn't switch from low to hi. It is one constant barely visible light. My question is what would cause this? Is the light bulb itself out, is the switch bad or does the whole headlamp need replacing? I thought I would come here first before I take it in and deal with those "wonderful guys at the Las Vegas BMW Motorcycle dealership!"
