The headlights on the 98+ non-ZR2 trucks have very weird wiring; to facilitate the DRL function on the high beam bulbs the bulbs are powered in series. Sounds like one of the wires to the driver side bulb is not getting proper ground when in parallel operation.

For a schematic, search "headlight+schematic" in the "2nd Gen Tech" section with an author of "swartlkk" (without the quotes, but keeping the '+'). The schematic for a '99 is identical to that found in a '00 or '01 according to my references.
