Ok, so my headlight *passenger* blew the other day, so i changed it for the spare i had, and it still didnt work, so i thought it was a duff bulb as it wasnt new, so i purchased a new pack and swapped the bulb over again, this bulb didnt work either.
So this led me to the fuse, i checked the fuse box under the bonnet, and as its just the left dipped beam, i checked slot 11 and the other headlight fuses, and all the fuses are fine, i tested them and they all have current going through them. ALL of them, even the ones with nothing to do with it.
I also checked the bulb, which has current when plugged in aswel.
If anyone has a clue how to get my bulb working it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, the bulb doesnt blow or anythin when plugged in.

Check the grey 3 pin headlight plug.
Should be 1 x earth wire & 2 x +12 volt feeds in that grey 3 pin plug, 1 + feed for dipped & 1 + feed for main, if main beam is working ok then it sounds like its lost the + dip feed, check the grey 3 pin plug carefully.
