Test and make sure you are using a known good bulb & fuse.

Do the bulbs have two filaments?
One for the low beam, the other for High beam?

The resistance of corrosion can cause the bulb to not work, clean sockets, and use a bulb grease for protection.

CRC Electrical cleaner.
Make sure, your car doesn't require a two filament bulb!
