Well, I thought my bulb was out so I bought new ones, slapped it on and it still doesn't work. It's the passenger side low beam. Could a fuse have blown out or could there have been a short? How would I go about fixing this?
 
Check the fuse. I believe its labeled on the fusebox located under the hood. Also,,,you brought the right kinda lights..right????
 
is it both hi and low beam?
or jsut one or the other?

if its both check the headlight plug itself make sure its on. don't know why it would have come off, but anything is possible.

gives you a good place to start testing too.
 
Look for a melted contact in the socket that plugs into the bulb. The plastic they're made of is shit, and with a little corrosion the plug overheats and melts itself away from the bulb tang. They have replacements on the rack at the auto parts stores.
