Default F150 passenger side low beam not working

Hello guys I drive a 2010 f150 with the 5.4 (in case it matters) I'm having trouble with the low beam on the passenger side not working, but the high beams work fine. I checked the fuses and they looked ok. I already tested new bulbs and I get the same deal no low beam on the right. I'm out of ideas if you guys can help out before I take it to the dealer and spend extra money on something I might be able to do myself. Help out pliz

Fuses can look good and be bad, pull them out and test them with an ohm meter or continuity tester. There's 2 fuse panels, one inside and one under the hood.

Are you getting power to the plug? Being situated near the battery, could be acid erosion, a pinch, or whatever causing an open in the wire. Try to trace the wire back and look for damage and/or check for power with a 12V test light.

The plug isn't getting any power I tried following the wire but the harness joins on to another 3" thick harness and it's hard to fallow from there and I did use the test light all the way to where I loose the wire and no power so my problem is somewhere after that but idk where the low beam wire ends

Just run a jumper wire from the known good side to the bad side. Gotta determine what wire is the positive for the low beam.

I thinking of just doing that but I had bought a bixenon hids kit and those need to plug from the passengers side to the drive side because the hid kit get power from the battery.

If it were a blown fuse...I would think neither low beam would work.
