Reported cause · Original poster
It was the top pin, closest to the center of the car.
Leading evidence: 'top pin, closest' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'top pin, closest' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust headlight' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Thinking I may have jostled everything and killed the bulb during install/removal, I swapped the bulbs from the driver's side and passenger side.

I hope you figured it out and you get them adjusted properly.

Now it's working, just gotta check the adjustment on the headlight.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This was supposed to be an easy headlight adjustment and now it's going south quickly..... Hopefully someone can help.
I've been trying to find the adjustment screw and not having any luck so I popped out my headlight. I adjusted it and put it back in and now the Xenon low beam and halogen high beam won't work on the driver's side. They work fine on the passenger side. I took it out and noticed I bent two pins, the two closest to the center of the vehicle. I unbent them and reinstalled. Still no lights.
Thinking I may have jostled everything and killed the bulb during install/removal, I swapped the bulbs from the driver's side and passenger side. The bub works fine so it's not that.
The real kicker.... when I turn on my left turn signal the Xenon flickers very quickly like it's trying to light up but just can't quite do it.
Any thoughts? Did the bent pins throw a code that I'll need reset to get my headlight working?
Another aggravating factor I must include, my batter is way low. to the point that my airbag warning light activated. Stupid headlight adjustment.......
Got the car started and the airbag warning cleared so that's good. Still don't have any Xenon and the halogen high beam bulb only comes on about half way.
Ok... think I figured it out. In my trouble shooting, I ended up bending a pin again. It was the top pin, closest to the center of the car. It was bent down to the pin below it, which I'm guessing is the turn signal pin, hence the light flicker with turn signals. Now it's working, just gotta check the adjustment on the headlight.
Why did you need to adjust the headlight? The HID lights are self-leveling and really shouldn't need to be adjusted. Were yours damaged? Are you trying to adjust them to something other than the factory setting?
I hope you figured it out and you get them adjusted properly.
