Gotta be wiring problems somewhere, probably between the low/main switch and
the headlights.  Get a test lamp and a wiring diagram, start chasing.  I
would probably start at the 4-way bullet sleeves, where the 3 UW and 3 UR
wires come together as I've had them break internally before.  But it could
also be a bad wire, or a bad contact at the bulb, etc.

Connect the ground wire from the test lamp to a good ground, then probe
something you know is hot to make sure the lamp & ground are good.  Turn on
the circuit, then probe each of the 3 wires as it leaves the 4-way
connector.  If one or more has power and the others don't, the connector is
probably bad.

If it seems like I'm talking in tongues; get a copy of Dan Master's book on
TR6 wiring.  I hear it has lots of good troubleshooting information for
electrical neophytes.
