Exclamation Headlight issues

Hi I had some issues with my high beams and my taillights.

FYI not very knowledgeable with cars though am willing to learn and try things on my own.

I replaced my headlights (high beams) a few days ago, and one of bulbs must have been touching the reflector because it burnt halfway thru it. Any recommendations on how to fix i.e. Where to get parts and if I can do it on my own.

Also my left taillight (top, single bulb) is not working. I replaced the bulb, but problem still persists. Could it be an issue with bulb holder contacts?

Any advice or help is much appreciated.

thanks!
