Default headlight failure

My low beam headlights are being gay lately. I guess its my fault because i assumed when only the driverside went out it was a light, there went 25bucks. Well i put the new headlight in an it doesn't work, I looked at the wire inside both headlights an they where fine. Is this a common problem, could the wires running to the light be grounding out. I'm going to find my tester light light later. Why would only the driverside light go out, are both headlights on the same wire. Just any input at all would help alot as I'm clueless??

I have a similar problem. Only the brights work. No fog lights either, checked all the bulbs and they are good. Haven't really looked into it much other than that. Sooner or later I will though.

Most likely your headlight switch inside the car.
