Question Replaced front left low beam twice in two months....

I first replaced the left front low beam and it lasted two months and now it's
out again. This time when I replaced it, it doesn't work at all. I check the fuses
and they're good. Any ideas?

Crap. You got it. Somehow after looking in the book and looking at
the unit upside down, it screwed me up. All is good. Thanks for pointing
me at the obvious.
