Check the earth connection on the inner wing (Black wires)

I was about to order a new headlight, but if it's not the earth what else do you think it could be as the car is not accessible at the moment for me to check

Any bad connection will stop it working, not just the earth side.
Paint isn't conductive to electricity!
