Headlight help

Heyy,

So I have a bit of an emergency, to the point I'm writing this on my cell phone because I have to be home to get ready for work in 30. Basically I have HIDs, and went around a very sharp turn a little hard(low speed, just a sharp turn). After making the turn, the headlights turned off. I tried turning them off and then back on, but that didn't work. Now if it was a bulb, it would be easy to identify, but when I turn the lights to the "on" position, the headlights don't even pop up. They'll pop up if I use the pop up button on the left, but not if I turn the lights on. Can anyone help? Thank you!

~Anthony

Borrowed a car for the night, but still need to fix this. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Check the connections to your ballasts and make sure nothing has come loose. Also start checking fuses etc.

It could possibly be the headlight switch (the whole assembly with the turn signal connected to the clock-spring).

UPDATE:

The lights themselves work fine, there is no power going to the lights from the car. However, when I pull back on the light switch, the high beams come on, but not when I push the light switch forward. Guessing now from other's input that it's the light switch. Definitely not a lot of responses on this thread...
