Default N/S headlight issues after bumper removal

Hi everyone, wonder if anyone has any advice…

Recently done a cambelt change on my D2 A8 4.2 so removed the bumper, lights, rad pack (entire front end…) to get better access. After putting everything back together, I seem to have developed an electrical fault. The Near side front and rear lights do not operate from the light stalk now and (amusingly but also annoyingly) the horn has stopped working and operates the front headlight!!

Front parking sensors have also now stopped working.

Before I go stripping the front again and chasing wires, has anyone come across this before? Any tips would be massively appreciated.

Cheers all.

You've got the left headlight and front bumper connectors mixed up. Swap them over.

Be aware some components likely will not have survived this incident. Check fuses and then check functionality. Some modules may need replacement.
