2000 Passat low beam out

The driver side low/high combo bulb stopped working. I changed the bulb, but it is still no good. I also checked the fuses and they are good. I should note that my car was lightly rear-ended when this problem started. What could it be?

Thanks Aabob

Are you sure you changed the correct bulb? Did you check for power and ground at that bulb socket? Possibly the wiring has issues. (x3)

The bulb is good. There is no power at the socket. The ground it okay.

(I copied and pasted previous posts)

Now I thought you said that both the Low and High beam was out only on one side. That could indicate a ground problem, but you say that the ground is good and there is no power. hmmm How is the fuse and how did you test it? Do you have power there?

Does the wiring look bad? Does the socket that plugs into the bulb look burnt or bad?

So if the fuse is good and has power, but the bulb socket does not then the wiring needs to be examined from the fuse to the bulb socket. I do wonder if the headlight switch, or low/high selector switch might have separate circuits to the left and right headlights.
