You also might want to check the fuse for the headlamp in the engine compartment's fusebox.
Might have blown out, short circuited somewhere, maybe from getting wet, raining lately?

ENGAGE MY VTEC BABY!!!!!!
try the fuse, take to kregans and see if you are getting current(power) to the headlight, if you are maybe its not the fuse cause if you get power the fuse shouldnt be blown right?
check it out, did you try the stock bulbs? or are they aftermarket?

No this fuse is under the hood to the left in the engine bay. There's a large plastic cover over the fuse box. The fuses are blade fuses so once removed see if the metal filament was fried. If so that's your prob, replace it and it should work fine.
*Edit* The fuses should be 25 amps. Also if you do replace them and they still burn out your gonna have to trace your headlight wires and see if they're open and touching the chassis. It's grounding somewhere and short circuiting.
