Default Changed turn bulb now headlights wont go down.

So I had a turn signal bulb that had a poor connection. I tinkered with it and tryed to adjust the contacts. (with lights on) now my turn signal works fine but my headlights wont go down. No noise, no movment. Nada. I checked the fuses for the headlight motors under the hood. THey are good. They light fine. Any ideas???????

Try the #6 fuse in the passenger wheel well. You may have blown it tinkering with the bilb holder

Try cranking them down by hand, you may have pressed on them and overshot the proximity switch..
