Default One headlight...

Hey guys,

So I took my car to work for the first time in a long time and when leaving (dark out) my driver side headlight was not working.
The next day I opened it up enough to get a DVM in the oem plug. No voltage, I figured easy peasy I have a blown fuse, go to replace it and its actually still good.

Would this be a case of a bad ground, and would that ground be batched up in the ground pack by the driver side headlight?

Sorry, this would be a bulb issue.

Finally got around to mess with the car,seems like the driver side does not work for lo's or high-beam.
I checked the fuse for the driver side and it doesnt look blown to me.

The passenger side lights up so i'm ruling out the switch to be bad.
Thinking about separating all the grounds and connecting them to individual ring terminals...
