my dirvers side fog light has been out for a long time. i havent bothered to even check if it's the bulb because ive been too busy. recently my driver's side headlight went out. took the bulb out and it wasnt blown. put a new one in anyways and it still doesnt work. i havent had any time to check any other things but i plan on fixing it tonight. i just need to know what i should look for. idk if the fog light is related or not, so i just threw that information out there, although i doubt it's related at all. wiring? relay? fuse? idk if it could be the fuse or not considering the passenger works fine. unless there are fuses for each side?

check if there is power going to the actual connector!, and then trace the wire back to find the problem.
