Left low beam headlight out

My front left low beam headlight is out. I have put 2 new bulbs in it, and neither worked. My next step is to replace the fuse. Hopefully that will work, but incase it doesn't, does anyone have any other suggestions? The connectors look like new and I traced the wire as far I could see and found no signs of a cut. Thanks!

EDIT: Just read there are no fuses for the headlights. Guess I'm back to square one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT v2: Now my right low beam just went out. I'll try putting a new bulb in it, but I'm thinking it won't work like the left one didn't.

Hmm interesting. Turn off the car. Put both bulbs in and then restart the car. That work?

If not, turn car off, try turning the connector that attaches to the bulb. It should only go on one way but try and reverse it if it can. Restart the car.
