Default Headlight No Power

Issue:I had a diver side low beam headlight out. Buy a replacement bulb (not cheap by the way) and had it installed @NTB. (This shop is great service and good ) so The checked the fuse, it's good they check the power to the light and it has no power at all at the light. What could be the problem here. I have extended warranty and I am dreading the Chevy dealer ordeal...Any thoughts?

Replace fuse. Sometimes a fuse will check out OK until power is applied it.

Next would be lo beam relay.

Does the harness have any power or just the low beam wiring has no power?
