Default Headlight help please!

I have a 94 Es300, and my driver side headlight went out on me a couple of days ago. I went a picked up a replacement bulb and installed it correctly and it still doesn't work. My right side headlight still work, both fog lights work, even the driver side high beam works, which leads me to believe maybe a fuse? If that's the problem, where can I find the fuse for that headlight? Thank you in advance, this forum has always helped, I hope it will this time.

I'm pretty sure you can rule out a fuse or the high beam to that headlight wouldn't work, there is a right headlight relay and a left headlight relay the high beam signifies it's good. I recommend taking the bulb back and trying to get a free replacement they are bad out of the package. Remember you can't jar or touch these bulbs when installing them or they will not work or will burn out shortly. Be sure the connector is secure on the bulb connector and clicked into place. Make sure the connector is clean on inside and the wires are secure, otherwise it's most likely a wiring issue.

Try all that and get back to me...

To be 100% sure, switch the headlight bulbs. If you know the passenger side bulb works, then put it on the driver side.

+2...exactly what I was thinking.

how do you turn on the foglamps? I have no clue if mine work or not...

usually there is no fuse for headlights. possibly a circuit breaker?? definitely a relay.

could you also try a 12v test light to see if power is getting to the connection?
