Some bulbs have more than one filiment (and contact set). I'm not sure if yours does, but I'd try a bulb before a harness change anyday!

Yeah, definitely check the bulb first, and you don't need to take the headlight assembly out to do this. Where the harness meets the bulb on the back of the housing, there is a rotating assembly that you just rotate until the tabs line up with the openings and then you just pull the bulb out. Those 2 screws on top most times are the headlight adjustor screws. You may have thrown your headlight out of alignment. To fix it, check your owner's manual. Pretty simple.

This is for modding your headlights, but he does go through how to pull it out. I imagine that '02-'05 should all be the same procedure.
