Default Headlight problem.

So i recently went down from aftermarket 6000k to 5000k. Ive always seemed to have had problems with my passenger side lowbeam light previously i had a very light flickering which lead me to change the bulbs. After i swapped the bulbs out i turned the lights on and they worked perfect i shut the car off and put everthing back in place. When i turned the car on to move it the passenger side light was out. I tried switching out the ballast for a spare i had, switchig the bulb, put the oem halogen and nothing lit so im guessing its something electrical with the oem wiring. any help?

Did you pnich any wires when putting the bulb in? Or is there a open wire (electricity short) that is touching the car body?

I think i did pinch the connector for the headlight because i cut small slats on the side of the housing cover to run the wires out i may have accidently closed the housing against the cable.

Its the cable which you connect the bulb to. I guess i have to go to the stealership and just turn in a arm and a leg. lol
