Default 2004 Headlight out problem

Drivers side headlight went out on our 2004 Accord. Replaced with new sylvania lamp. headlight still out, but only drivers side. Are they fused separately? Any help appreciated.

Yes, the two headlight have their own fuse.

The No. 1 fuse (10A) in the under-hood fuse box protects the left headlight low. The No. 6 (10A) protects the right headlight low.

Default Idiot Meter

Instead of using an ohm meter, I tried my idiot meter.....I was apparently trying to fix a low beam light-out situation by replacing my high beam and finding when the lights were turned on that location was still out. Once I switched to the correct location and bulb type things worked out really well. A real Homer Simpson....doooh!

Yeah, when you actually replace the bulb that's burned out it makes a difference

We've all done stuff like that.
