Default Dead Headlight

Hi Guys,
My headlight died on me the other day when I was about to ride home from work. good thing the sun was still out! Anyway I figured it was just the bulb, but when I replaced that it still didn't work. I checked the fuse that looks okay too. Any thoughts - I have a 2010 Wide Glide. Am I missing something easy here?
Thanks!

If you lost high &l ow beam, a loose 4 points connector to the main harness could be the issue.

Are all the wires still connected to the socket for the headlight bulb? Then work your way back from there. Also check the fuse.

Just because a fuse looks good doesn't mean it is. Check it for continuity or pop in a new one. While you're at it make sure the contacts are clean in the box.
