Headlight

Suddenly my headlight is not working.
Bulb is fine.
I don't get 12 v at the two wires, both low and high beam.
Position light (the small one) is fine.
Any suggestions?
What should I check?
Thanks

I am talking about intake valve cylinder 4. Before it was clearance zero with 280 shim. I put 270 and now clearance is 0.45....
