This I will have to try because like you said I also highly doubt it's a whole wiring issue when 10 minutes before I did this everything was fine.

Good luck man, I hope it works out for you!
You could also bend the contacts towards the bulbs contacts a little more for better contact if the bulb slides in and out too easily...

Are you getting power to some of the headlights array of bulbs but not all of them? Which ones are currently out?

I had stock bulbs in passenger and driver. I took the passenger bulb and put it in on the driver side. The driver side bulb is now on the passenger. The passenger side lights up. The driver side does not. It is only the main bulb on the drivers side that does not light up. The side markers and parking lights work. I did try putting the passenger bulb back into the driver socket like it was before I switched them and it still did nothing.

may also want to check 7 and 8 fuses and see if the metal is busted or swap fuse 7 and 8 and see if you get the same result.
