Default Headlights

I need some help!!!! The front, left, low-beam headlight is out so I replaced the bulb, but still no light. I checked the fuse and that was fine as well. Any ideas on what else it could be? Anyone else have this problem?

Thx everyone.

Default Left Headlight is Out -- Bulb OK

I have the same problem, but in my case the left headlamp is inoperative and the left foglight is on with the lowbeam headlights switched on. When the foglights are switched on with the lowbeam headlights switched on then both headlamps and both foglights work. What's up?

Head-Lamp circuit is not very simple. If I explain it might help you to isolate the problem.

Safety: With high beam ON, the fog lamps would cut out.

DRL: Lights switch OFF or AUTO with sensor saying day, the high beams lamps get serially connected thus producing 1/2 the glow.

Low Beam on: switch ON or AUTO with sensor saying evening.

High Beam on: Stalk switch to High Beam, will also shut off the fog lights.

High Beam lit 1/2 intencity: DRL mode

Auto mode: Sensor signals auto switching between DRL and low beam. [Also the delay off circuit works which can be forced off by double lock command from the key]

Time monitor: The lights shut down after a while.
