The bulb failure light should come on if that were the case.

I wouldn't bother going back when it's probably a 2 min job to check if it's plugged in.

Pop the bonnet, and look straight down between the bumper and the radiator. Just behind the bumper right in the middle you should see some wires. Temp sender unit it just there.

OP's car is a facelift Vectra (reg 06) so that won't be possible.
