One of my main lights doesn't work (FD)

I seem to have some kind of electrical problem with my FD, one of the main headlights doesn't work. I have tried to exchange the light bulp but didn't help.

The far-distance light still works fine, but not one of the main headlights.

Can this be a problem with a fuse or rel่?

How do I go forward to debug this problem?

(I'm sorry for not knowing the proper english words for headlights...hehe)

You need to download the FSM and wiring diagram for your year. It most likely is not the ground for that lamp as the high beam wouldn't work for that lamp either. I'd have to look at the wiring diagram but I believe the relay feed both lamps whether in high or low beam position si it would be pointing towards a bad wire to your lowbeam for that lamp if replacing the lamp didn't fix it.

Thanks CantGoStraight, I will try to investigate futher but it's not easy with no mechanical or electrical background.

I don't even know what to look for, I have tried to check the connectors with a volt-meter but as I don't know what values it should read it's hard to know what is correct and what is wrong.

Any more suggestions and specifically how to go forward and debug?
