Default Re: Headlight replaced but still won't turn on

I was curious and looked at the filament on the old light and it looks good. Took out the replacement and looked at the filament there and looks like new (as it should be). Puzzled, I came here and did a quick search and found this: Headlight replace but light won't work

So I checked my fuses and they all look good. I even looked at the passenger side fuse and saw it was good. I put in a new fuse just in case and still no go. I switched the new fuse and passenger side fuse (why? I don't know.... just another thing to hope for a miracle) and same result.

So I'm going to ask the collective intelligence of this fine community to help me make my wife happy. And I mean by making that driver side light turn on... keep it clean gentlemen.
Put in a spare fuse, there are some on the car or check the fuse with a tester of some kind, a battery and a bulb and a piece of wire works. Sometimes these fuses are blown but do not look like it.
