Hi Chris,
Welcome to the forum. To get the most accurate answer to your question, we would need to know what year the car is.

Hi Cris,
If the passenger side is still working then that will rule out the relays.
If you now confirm that the fuses for the drivers side are still good -F19 10A and F6 10A in the engine compartment fuse box, then your problem will be at the light unit.

Disconnect the plug at the light and check for power on pin 2 and 3.

Also check the ground point is clean and tight.

See how you get on with that first.

New bulbs can be bad. Check it with an ohm meter.
