Check under-hood Fuse No. 33 (50A). If that is okay and there is power coming through that fuse, then it may be due to the combination light switch or wiring.

At the headlight switch, check to see if power is coming in at terminal no. 6 (White wire) at Connector C414. That is the wire from under-hood fuse no. 33.

If there is power there, then check for voltage at terminal no. 4 (Red/Yel) wire when the low beam switch is turned on. You'll have to backprobe to measure voltage here.

Backprobing is either using a backprobe set or using a thin needle or something and making contact with the metal terminal of the connector without piercing the wire in the back of the still connected connector. Care must be taken to ensure that the wiring does not get damaged. You can use something like a T pin, available at Walmart, etc., and backprobe. These pictures are just to give a picture of the concept of backprobing without piercing any wires.
