I'm assuming you mean "No Headlight" OR what. No signals, brake lights, running light ... ?

If you do mean headlight - You need to check if the High Beam still works. If it does, you just have a blown bulb.

The headlight circuit is very simple. It goes from the battery, to a relay, to the headlight, to a ground point. If the High Beam doesn't work, then it's probable that your relay is shot (Not likely) or your ground point is loose (Check first)

You need to check all of these points for good connections and functionality.
