Pretty much explains itself. I got into a minor accident and now my drivers side headlight will not turn on. I bought a new headlight and put it in and still nothing. then, I tried both the light that was in there, and the new light on the right side, and they both light up when put into the ride side, and nothing on the left!

Anyone know what might be going on?

Kinda OT but check maybe your fuses? that could be a start.

After that check the headlight switch on the column. When it goes bad it won't energize the relay for one headlight. Sometimes randomly, sometimes a 100% failure.
