I was replacing a signal light I had out and when I went to pull the bulb out I disconnected the wrong wire harness. The signal light is the middle bulb and I disconnected the one to the left. When I realized what I did I disconnected the correct bulb and replaced the signal. When I went to try and reconnect the first wire it wouldn’t go back on after playing with it for a bit I got it on but now have no headlight. Any ideas?

For removal, instructions say, disconnect and isolate battery ground cable. Don't touch bulb with bare hands or fingers, use dry clean gloves. Open service door in upper outboard front wheel house splash shield. Reach through service access door behind front lamp unit to access bulbs from back of lamp housing. Firmly grasp molded plastic cover on back of housing and rotate it ccw about 30 degrees to unlock it. Remove cover from lamp housing to access bi-halogen bulb base on reflector within lamp housing. Disengage two metal latch tabs of lamp wiring connector while disconnecting it from bulb connector receptacle. Firmly grasp bulb base on back of front lamp unit reflector and rotate it about 30 degrees to unlock it. Pull bulb and base straight out from keyed opening in reflector. Installation, Reach through service access door in upper outboard front wheel house splash shield behind front lamp unit to access bulb openings from back of lamp housing.
