could be the switch

do you have a DC test meter? do you have voltage to the bulb? could be a broken ground wire.

hey, thanks for the quick reply. I actually did something really stupid. I LMAO. when I took the headlight out, i went inside for a quick break, when I went back out to switch headlights, I got the new and used mixed up and tested it with the blown bulb instead of the new. hahaha. sorry about that. I hope you laugh as much as I did.
