Hi,

Wow, that must have been a big bump. I looked over the headlamp wiring schematic. It's two pages long. LOL The one thing that I see ties the things together regarding the problems you are having is the ground. It's located on the lower right side of the radiator support. Check to see if anything was damaged, has come loose, or if it's disconnected (broken).

Note: The lighting on the right side is separate.

See pic 1.

Let me know what you find.
