But I might say it would be good to post a link to the photo instead of the photo itself.
I have already had my hand slapped for this from the Moderator.
Something about bandwidth.

Hey guys, ok, I jumped the wires at the switch and voila, all the lights came on...................except my headlamps themselves. I checked and there was still no power going to them. So, I need a new switch, I at least figured that out. But, I can't figure out why my headlights dont work, I checked the fuses by the starter solenoid, they seemed fine. could it be a broken wire? bad ground? All my other lights work fine, except those blood headlights........

Ok, next step is to pull the highbeam select switch. Pop off the lower kick panel after removing the plastic door sill. Pull up the carpet and unbolt the switch. With either a new headlight switch or the headlight wire jumped like you did before, jump the high beam connector from the red/yellow to one of the other wires. One does the low beam, the other does the high beam.

Here are two diagram of your headlight switch and power to it.
