If you have access to a volt meter, verify you have power at the bulb first, then go back from there.

Those aren't just for dust, you will want to cover those so water can't get in either.

Update. I checked the inside fuses. Didn't really see an inside fuse for the headlights. this is so frustrating and I really don't want to drop the bumper again. looks like I am headed to the dealership. :(
Thanks
