Default Left Headlight won't turn come on (stock, not HID)

Here are my cars specs:
Year: 1994
Make: Toyota
Model: Camry
Trim: LE V6

I need to know how to make my left headlight come on. It's the stock headlight that came with the car (9005HB3). Recently only the right headlight would come on, which prevented me from driving at night since I'd get a ticket for only having one working headlight. Here's what I've checked so far:
* Replaced the bulb, still doesn't come on.
* Switched the fuses for the Left and Right Headlights, didn't make a difference though, so fuses are fine.
The only things left that I can think of is wiring and ECU problems. What can I do to make the left headlight turn on again?

What works and what does not?

Both left high and low beam do not work, one works, the other no?

Right head light works OK for both high and low beam?

Canada (daytime running lights) or US car?

Auto light shut off?

For US cars, if one side works the headlight relay works OK. Power splits after the relay via the 2 fuse to left and right headlights.

The "ground" for the left and right low beams are connected, same for the high beams.

They run through the headlight switch before going to ground.

The lamps are always powers, it's the switch the determines which bulbs are grounded to the chassis and thus turned on.

I think you should replace the whole headlights by the way it sounds its all busted.
