As always, work backwards, since this happened as a result of a project.

Open the headlight housing and check everything there.
Disconnect new light, try old one.
Check that you battery is at 12.8V with key off (could have run it down accidentally)
report back and we can go from there.

Well I haven't got the old Bulb out yet cannot figure out how to get that beauty ring out I don't know if someone maybe silicone it in. And I did not run the battery down full charge it worked yesterday I sprayed PB blaster around the ring to let it soak overnight tried it to day and I have no power. Everything worked perfect yesterday.

Just a fyi, I went the hammer n chisel route. I have a nice easy to disassemble Adjure bucket now. A small plastic or deadblow mallet may help get that thing moving. Go easy.

Thats the only thing left to try. I tried PB blast left it soaked all night. Now today for some reason I have no power whatsoever just 4 way flashers.

2 things , I also had to do a hammer and chisel, needles to say I replaced the whole assembly and I am guessing a ground wire is loose or broken now.

Good chance Twistedspoke is correct. When you get the headlight apart it will probably stare you in the face. Check your fault lights on the EHC for any clues.

Make sure you have the set screws at the bottom removed.
Wear latex loves to get a better grip.
Run a razor blade around the edge to check/break any silicone.
If there are no set screws in the bottom and you are not the original owner, previous owner my have gotten "creative" about how to hold it in.
I have an alternative headlight assembly now and will never look back. (hated those set screws) Lost my share of beauty rings over the years.
