Headlight poop on me...

This morning I was backing out of the driveway with my lights up, let off the clutch too fast and kill the car. I turn the car back on just to find out that my headlights are not working. Everything still works, dash lights, taillights, parking lights., just the damn headlight itself. The headlights will not go back down, nor will it light. I’ve tried pressing the left button that pop the headlight with no luck either.
any help>?

Sorry, I feel like a dumbass. It was the 30A Head Fuse located on the Positive Terminal. I was late to work so I didn't get a chance to diagonois it untill just now.(my lunch time.)

Is there anything physically preventing the headlights from going down? If the motor is trying to push them down and something is preventing it...it might blow the fuse. Other than that it sounds like a bare wire touching somewhere. Good luck with that!

You can do what I had suggested you to do. First off, isolate the headlight circuit wires, and use a "Multimeter" to check the resistance and ampage. Track and trace your way to where the problem exist.

Good Luck.
