Default Headlight out after header install????

I just installed a header on my car and had to pull the driver side fan to get the header out. The install went fine but now when I started up my car and went for a ride my driver side headlight is out. The high beam works fine it's just the low. Any ideas as to what happened????

Did the header melt a wire? Didd you pull a bit too hard on a wire? Maybe you jsut have shitty luck?

I figure it's just a wire that got pulled out, any idea if the wires connected to the fans have any connection to the headlights??

That's my next step, it's just too coincidental that I start yanking wires and the headlight decides to burn out at that very moment
