Default headlight problems

I've been having problems with my passenger side regular light working sporadically. i took the headlight out of both just to compare and see if i could identify any problems. Now neither of the regular lights work. Highbeams are fine. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Sounds like a bad ground.

trying to fix my headlights. it used to be just my passenger side daytime running light. it would work sporadically. so i took my light covers off the check out the bulbs and possible replace. when i put them back on the lights worked for like 2miles then both shut off. i know i inserted them back correctly and snapped the wired correctly but i cant figure out whats worng now.when i go inside my truck the only lights that work are my brights. what should i do?

miami_canes, I think swartlkk was asking you the specifics of your vehicle. Year, model, that sort of thing.
