You have a fuse for each headlight, so we need to start by checking the fuses that go to this headlamp.

Here is a guide that will help with doing this:

If the fuse is okay, then we more than likely have an issue with the FEM which is the control module for the head lights.

The way this works is the fuse applies voltage all the time and the FEM grounds the circuit.

So, the way to test this is to just ground the bulb and see if it works.

Please see the wiring diagram below for this and let us know what you find.

Okay. That is great info. So, we need to replace the FEM and I am going to attach the process below.

Please run through this info and let us know what happens.
