possible wiring issue

is there any power running to the switch you may have to do some testing with your handy 12v test light here if there is no power to the switch then you got some investigating to do but if there is power its probabyl a bad headlight switch

Take a look at your headlite switch. Had the same problem a few years back, the switch had gotten water in it and rusted all the contacts.

Hi if you have the power to the headlight switch it could be just a simple ground problem, just check and make sure everything is grounded properly, hope this helps
