Default One headlight not working

My passenger side headlight is not working. I replaced my headlights with LED bulbs few years ago, and last week one stopped working. I tried replacing it with a new H-11 LED bulb but it is still not powering it on. Any idea what may be causing it and what to do? Is there a fuse that I may need to replace? I would think that the fuse controls both headlights and since one is working, maybe that's not an issue?

There are separate 10A fuses for each filament, so four in total.
(but the fog lights share a 15A fuse)

They are located in the under-hood fusebox on the driver's side. You will need to remove the plastic "beauty cover" to get to it.

Thanks for your response. I will look in the fuse box and see if any require replacement.

Just checked, and it is the blown up fuse. So should I purchase it from any auto parts shops or get it from a Toyota/Lexus dealer? I don't think it makes a difference, but not sure.

Doesn't really matter. Just go to the auto parts store nearest you.
