Default No power to fuse #8 right headlight!

I had the drivers side headlight burn out the other week. I replaced it yesterday and the new bulb did not help. I replaced the fuse in the cabin, #8, and still no luck. I got out my multimeter and there is no power going to fuse #8. I pulled the fuse and #6 (passenger low beam) had power.

So my question is where do I go from here? Any help would be appreciated.

My first thought is that you have a bad Illumination Control Module. See the diagram below.

What if i were to splice into the passenger side headlight wires inside the headlight before the connector, and run the wires over to the drivers side and splice into the harness. If that would work it would be the simplest solution at this point.

An easier way would be to purchase two fuse taps with a short piece of wire from fuse 6 to 8. Rigged, yes, but it would work.
