Well, if you've unplugged it and plugged it back in and it still doesn't work... it's plenty fucked. You'll need to escalate to Level 2 Tech Support but they'll just walk you through the same steps before dispatching the fat smelly guy who'll need to take the lights back to the warehouse for replacement.
Might as well just spray both headlights with PlastiDip and call it a day.
you know what I'm thinking now that jawknee mentioned it , the problem is on the same side as the intake and thats where the grounds are. Maybe its covered in crud or just not secured as the intake could've rattled it off.. This is where I mean. Either that or something with the D2S connector. I highly doubt ballast, ignitor etc as everything worked great up until the swapping of headlights
There was a bro that installed an intake and had electrical issues. Turned out he used a grounding point to mount the intake make sure you didn't do that. Take it off, sand/file it down to bare metal and reinstall the ground. After that I would check headlight relays.. It could be a bad bi-xenon solenoid; rare, but definitely not unheard of.
can someone tell me wtf is going on with my drivers side low beam?
when I engage my low beams the drivers side just flickers and doesn't illuminate. I posted a video for reference
Wait wtf are you doing in this video? Low beam engaging high beam or DRL and turning low beam on? you're too close to the wall I can't tell what's going on. Can you elaborate and I'll reply in the morning
"Maaaann, I can take the bumper off just fine, right? But then when I go to put it back on, like, I totally forget where my car is parked and I ended up just sitting in the park asking people if they know me or know where I left my burrito. Dang, you know what would be good right now? Nachos."
so you can remove the bumper ok, but a little while later you cant put it back on....
completely random question/observation, but do you toke a lil Chad in between?

For some reason when I go to put it back on it sits too tight against the headlights and flex/cracked the paint. so fuck that noise. Im not in the business to be repainting bumpers every time something happens behind it
It's because you live up north and probably have surface rust on those long brackets that hold the bumper onto the bottom of the headlight....or the new paint thickness is too much for the bracket...
you can easily either not put that bracket on (have never tested this theory)...or take some light sandpaper to the bracket and or bumper tab that goes in it (if they painted onto it repeatedly making it too tight)...and maybe even lube it up with some silicone spray before pushing it back in.
they don't have magic fingers or skills...they get the bumper on fine!
remove it and have a friend hold the other side so it's not twisting...
if you cracked the paint, they didn't add enough flex additive .
gotta take some time to dissect the service manual but those grounds we talked about earlier might be the simplest solution now. Clean them nao! Otherwise, traced up further, the issue might be wiht the headlight relays, or the combination switch.
Fun ground story...
adding the CAI to the V you have to use a ground bolt to hold up the heat shield.
2 weeks ago I get in the car and the steering is hard and it says service power steering...
I go on the V forums...direct me toward that bolt...I checked with an extension and sure enough it
needed tightening!
Crazy...grounds can be the source of a lot of headaches!
