Default 87 Accord, Dr. Headlight doesn't work.... need help fast!

I checked the fuses and checked the headlight itself by plugging it in the other side, it works there. Driver's side has no voltage at the plug for high or low beam. Passenger side works fine. Any ideas?

follow the harness from the light down where it goes behind the retractor,peel the tape off, you will probably find the wire rubbed thru on the back of the headlight retractor

Your wires are more than likely broken inside or the plug is corroded. Fo more info see this thread... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=370111

I turns out the wires were broken behind the light from getting snagged. I didn't see it til I gave up on it and put it all back together, and closed the lights... it was right there in front of me the whole time. Thanks for the replies!
