It sounds like wiring both headlights together has caused a short in the wiring or has blown a fuse. You need to find the cause of the FIRST issue (passenger headlight out). Then rewire the headlight wires to original standards. This will solve your problems. Check for power going to the passenger side headlight plugs to ensure it is geting power.
