Default Low beam passenger not working

Hi went to change my bulbs this morning and it's stopped working I've changed the fuse's thinking I've put the bulb in the wrong way but it hasn't fixed it any ideas?

Thanks!

(side light and high beam still work in the unit just not the low beam) driver side is fine.

Could simply be the bulb is faulty. Try it in the opposite side and see if it works in there. If not, it's the bulb.

As above, suspect the bulb first.

Then look at the connector: is it displaced at all?

What car, what model, what year?

I seem to think that on some newage cars, there's a fuse in the under-bonnet fusebox that produces this effect.

First off, have a look around where you tapped...then examine all connectors. Look for loose wires, loose spades, corrosion, bent pins etc.
