I have a 98 chevy s10 pickup. I recently got into a accident that broke my left side headlight. The right side headlight worked perfectly. I just got a new headlight and a new connector piece that connects to the light bulb b/c the other one got cut off duing the accident. So I splice the purple and blue wires to attach the part.(Bright headlight connector piece) then attached it to the bulb connect and connect to other one to. Put it back into place. I then turned on the car and my drivers side lights dont work. When I go from regular to bright is alternates headlights. Also now the left turn signal is steady. I then disconnected the battery again. Switched the wires on the part thinkin they were on backwords. But nothin sill the same. Need help

Does the left side light at all? If you start the engine do the DRLs still work?
Have you checked the headlight fuses?

If you're in college hit the library and look up the EBSCO host. Then go to auto repair and drill down to your vehicle. The wiring diagram ans test charts are there.
