Start with the basics; see if you are getting power at the plug, with a automotive 12v circuit tester.
A basic one; should be less than $10.

Got power? Than the bulb or something with the socket is wrong or damaged. Many times; I will swap my "new" bulb; in the opposite side that currently is working. If you see that it works on the opposite side; you know, for sure the bulb is good. Sometimes; a bulb, that looks new or perfectly fine is bad or the wrong bulb, for the application.
Be sure; to wear gloves or cover the bulb with a paper towel when installing it, as you can damage it. If you touched it with your bare hands; clean it with window cleaner or rubbing alcohol.
No power? Then check fuses and wiring up to the plug; it maybe damaged, this is not uncommon... because the noses get damaged allot on these cars (being low to the ground; debris on the road or parking lot pylons, hits everything on the front and under the front on the car). The light assembly itself could be damaged or the wiring is cut, ripped out of its loom.
Check some things out and let us know; what you find out.
