Default Headlight stopped working...while trying to aim

Hello,
I was trying to aim my headlights and suddenly the headlight that i was trying to aim turned off...
First i thought that i probably have blown the bulb or something....so i changed the bulb and it was still not working....
So i put the stock headlight back on...and it was not working either...

Its the driver side headlight....the low and high beams are not working but the indicator ones are working fine....

So wat happened here? did i blew up a fuse or something somewhere? and yes then which one and where will i find it?

thnx for any help

i would check the fuses first, then if they are good(replace em anyway) i would use a voltmeter to test to see if there is power going to the socket
