Default Headlight not working (PICs)

Ok, so I got my black (Berlina?) S2000 today!!!

Problem - the driver's side headlight is out, I replaced the (HID) bulb and it still does not work. I tested the bulb on the passenger side to verify the bulbs' functionality and it works fine, just won't work on the driver's side. Any ideas?

Will post pics tomorrow.

Checked and confirmed that both drivers side and pass. side fuses work.
Checked and confirmed that both drivers side and pass. side relays work.
Checked and confirmed that both drivers side and pass. side HID bulbs work.

When I turn the lights on, the pass. side turns on and sounds normal. The drivers side does not turn on and make a click sound. What else can I check?
