Default headlight fandango

ya so the cliche one thing after another.... rode my motorcycle today and when I pulled in the garage I must of hit the highbeams and the headlight don't work now. I tested my blinkers and they work besides that the right one was blinking extremely fast for a few seconds. I didn't have time to look at it because I had to come to work. Im thinking I probably blew a bulb. But also thought it might be a fuse. Don't know since this is my first bike. There is a box on the left hand side of the frame while sitting. Is this where the fuse for it would be?

yes its a little black box about 1 x3 marked fuses has 3 or 4 fuses in it thier is also a 30 amp main fuse in front of the battery if the fuses are good try looking in the run stop switchthier are 3 wires the far right one kills the headlight for starting and likes to come unattached

High beam and low beam on the stock headlamp pull power from the same fuse - if the lo-beam is working and High beam isn't, it's either the bulb, or the switch.
