Default driver low beam not powering

got an 06 tc

I woke up for work the other morning go to my car and my battery was dead so i had to get a jump start, got to work went on my break battery dead had to jump start it again and once again my battery is dead when i leave to work so i jump start it one more time. What i notice though is my driver side hid isnt powering. I tried unpluging and pluging back in it doesnt light up so i just get my old headlight bulbs put them in , driver side still doesnt light up, so next i check my fuses their fine, even put a new one in for the driver side but still wont give power. Has anyone experienced this or heard this story before? My passenger lights up fine and high beams on both sides work.

P.S.- I did get my battery and altenator tested and theyre fine

did you use dielectrical grease for contact? mine has fried the housing 3 times, but toyota would just replace it. i found out most bulbs dont sit proper so you use the grease so they dont melt, wich dealer never did and yes it melted again.

Your battery tested fine but it was dead and needing a jump? And did the normal halogen bulb light when connected? These 2 questions will give you a lot of answers.
