Headlights

Just got done replacing the turn signal switch and the return feature. But now my head lights have stopped working. When I push the switch in, all parking lights come on, no headlights. If I press the brights on the new switch, the brights will work but when turned off, no head lights. Fuses are fine ( obviously) any ideas?

Fuses: are they getting power, or just visually looked at?
does the switch get and send power?

guessing here, if the switch replacement is the answer to "What changed" I'd put a wager the issue is with power coming in or out of that switch. head lamps are a basic circuit. power probe or test light are invaluable with these rigs. im bias towards a powerprobe as it cuts down diag to seconds for stuff like this.

1997, seems they are getting power, ill verify…but with the brights working and parking lamps, i would venture to say they are greeting power….just find it odd the switch dies as i am replacing the blinker switch…
