one low beam hl no work - fuses ok! HELP!

aloha!



i've a friend who owns a 2000 new beetle. recently, the driver's side low- beam headlight went out. we replaced the bulb with an H1-55 bulb, and changed the fuse (confirmed which fuse with the card diagram and by yanking out the fuse to the working headlight, then replacing the other fuse of the pair). no go. low beam still doesn't work, but both high beams work.



any suggestions as to what to check/replace next?



this is driving me bananas!


Are you getting power at the low beam socket? Is the ground connection good at the socket? Compare the voltages, pin for pin, between the good and bad sockets and also, with the power off, check for resistance to ground at the same points.
