Default 2001 RX300 Headlight Issue

Hi,
I've been lurking these forums for awhile, but never had a question until now...I hope someone from this awesome community can help!

My drivers side low-beam headlight went out a couple days ago. Today I replaced the bulb, and still no light is emitted. I went through and checked the fuses (#4 in the engine compartment per the user manual) and it's not blown either.

Am I checking the right fuse? Any other ideas that you might have as to what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I would double check that it is indeed the right bulb and examine the socket for corrosion etc. Also try swapping the left with the right bulb. You may have to use a voltmeter to check for +12v at the socket.

In the mean time, I hope some one can confirm that you are looking at the right fuse.
