Default headlight problem

the other day i was parked and i was going to turn off my headlights and i noticed one of them was off. well i checked all the wireing and everything is right, and everything else is working perfectly, the only thing is the passanger headlight. i unpluged the clips and tested the clip supplying the power and its not supplying any, what could of happened? fuse somewhere (checked them already but could of missed one). i have no clue where to look or what to do.

And if it's empty, you might as well upgrade to 1000K HID fluid.

check ur wiring as it probably melted somewhere...most likely it will melt somewhere lose to the headlight bulb itself... some parts cant be seen but if you try and move the wire around and it feels kind crispy then its burnd out... best bet is to bring it to the dealer as u might efff up something else. just put the stock bulbs back in so they can cover it with the warranty... thats wat i did

check for voltage with a multimeter. then try to trace the cable for any faults.
