Default Low beam

My new headlights aren't but 5-6 weeks old. Today the low beam just stopped working on the drivers side. Everything else works... Could this be a fuse? Or just a faulty bulb?

switch the bulbs around and see if the problem follows the bulb...you didnt happen to touch the actual bulb with your fingers or hand did you?

Well they've never been taken out lol. Maybe this is a good reason to upgrade to hid bulbs.

Swapped bulbs over and it worked. So it's the bulb. Now comes one other issue to adjust before buying a new bulb. Since the light went out I've noticed a ton of moisture build up in the headlight. Could this be related? Also how can I fix this? Thanks
