Default Stupid, probably simple headlight problem

I'm not electrically inclined. I removed my rear wheel last week and in the process broke the wire for my license plate bracket light(it's mounted to the axle). No biggie. But it was too close to the LED though to splice it so I bought another light. Waiting for it in the mail now. However, I cranked the bike yesterday and noticed that my headlight wasn't on. My brake light works, instrument cluster works. No headlight though. What could the issue be? Thanks

Btw, the headlight bulb was just replaced about 3 months ago.

Have you tried to see if the light works on hi beam? I would start with the headlamp and make sure it is working...just because it is relatively new does not mean it is ok.

Thanks, I'll check the fuse after work. If it's a blown fuse, could the tag light being disconnected have anything to do with it? Or was it just it's time to blow out?
