driver side headlight not working

so, february i hit a deer... yeah, well i got a check from geico next day and was picking up parts the day after that. i got what i could from a guy in plano that deals in mini parts(plus a cai intake box and piping). i ordered a new headlight based off the parts numbers i found cross referencing from the list geico gave me and google. having said that, i don't know if they sent me the wrong one or i ordered the wrong one but, the headlight i received was not the same. i'm pretty confused on which headlights i have mainly because ive seen them called xenons and hids. either way, like a dumb *** i opened up the new headlight and swapped its guts out with the old one that was shattered. it was easy but it still isn't working. this weekend i'm cracking them both open to compare and contrast(and joey mod the new headlight, been odd balling all summer). im confident that everything is hooked up right though. ive replaced the bulb too, the porcelain looking rod on the underside of the bulb was brown compared to the new one. Any ideas on what headlights i may have from the details(i can add pics tomorrow if need be) or what might be wrong?

I also got a letter in the mail about a class action law suit over the water pumps...?wtf?

After I did a search on the law suit in the forum, there are several sections going over it
