Default Headlight problem...

Okay, yesterday night I was going out for a cruise in the 928. I start the car and everything is fine ,but then I turn the headlights they both come out fine and all. However my passenger headlight doesn't turn on I'm going to go and say its probably a bulb or a fuse anything else I should check??

No - you are correct that its most likely a bulb or a fuse...

Does the high beam filament work that side if yes it cannot be the bulb ground connection which is about the only other likely issue.

if the fuse is good and the bulb checks out then its most likely the harness thats secured under the headlight pivot inside the fender, the best way to get to it is to remove the wheel and then the inner liner then the front block off panel. removing the headlight from the top isnt as good as the wires you will want to inspect will be under the headlight holder/pivot bar.

Pay careful attention to the factory clamp aroung the harness this is what cuts the wires inside the black sheathing, usually just under the pivot bar where the wires come through the fender well
