Default Headlight - one doesn't work

Problem is with passenger headlight. The bulb in question is the one in the smaller housing on stock eg lights. It used to work. Car sat in my backyard for 1.5 years. Doesn't work now.

Already swapped bulbs with the respective driver side one. Bulb not the problem. Engine bay and underdash fuses all good. I think it's a wiring issue but not really sure where to start with the multimeter. I also just learned how to use a multimeter in preparation to diagnose this issue.

Just looking for some direction I guess...

most likely its gonna be wiring. sometimes when a car sits that long, moisture gets in the wiring, and in the winter the moisture freezes damaging the wire.

why don't you check if you're getting power at the bulb socket? using a power probe look for 12v and Ground.

Check and see if the bulb plug is corroded. Seems odd the wiring would be changed unless a rodent got in there and nawed something up.
