NQ50 headlight not working, need help with wiring

Hi all,

Total noob here needing some help.

I recently took off all the plastics for a respray and at some point I've pulled the headlight out and damaged the wires. Problem is that I have no idea how to fix it. The lamp was working fine before this so I know it's something I've done and I've checked the element on the bulb and it's intact so I don't think it's just a blown bulb. Indicators and break lights are all fine as well.

Here are some pics to show what I'm looking at: http://imgur.com/a/Cid47

I assume the broken wire is what came off the light and stoped it working but I totally guessing and don't even know where it would attach to if it's the right one.

It seems like a simple enough job to fix and I'd really like to do it myself rather than take it to a shop.

Thanks in advance

just fixed mine so its fresh in my mine, two power wires go to the bulb, one blue and one white for hi and low beam, a green ground wire should attach to the outer case of the light socket. the other ends of the three wires connect into clear plastic connectors with the same color of wire attached.

Just the 1 setting on this one, no high-beam, so it was just the 2 wires. I managed to figure it out ok though and get the light working. It's a bit of a redneck fix (don't have a solder) but it works so I don't mind that :)
