May sound goofy, but it is possible to plug H4 connector to headlight backwards, leaving center connection open-circuit. Certainly a quick fix if that's the case... Seems odd that a broken wire would connect by turning bars in either direction, unless stops are providing ground somehow.    Author  Post     rayglo  Jupiter Reg.

Just go back to basics and think. " well it was working WHEN?? " what or did I fuck with anything, and then 99% chance you will find the problem. Trust me it works.
