Had the same thing happen to me on a road trip..stopped for gas at dusk and realized I had a passenger side headlight out. Ended up leaving the car at an airport and renting a car to finish the trip. Picked the car up a few days later and drove home.
I couldn't believe the mess in the headlight assembly! Like you, I repaired and all was good. Weird thing is, my drivers side assembly was fine. I searched online and realized how common this issue seems to be with German cars of this era.
Wish I'd known about the Plasi-Dip idea...I'd have tried that for sure.
