normally when people do the plow light rewire they install a switch to go back and forth from plow lights to headlights. I would take a look around to see if they may have installed such a switch.

Check to make sure your headlight wiring is plugged into the bulbs. I've seen some kits for plow lights where you unplug the wiring from the factory lights and the plow lights connect to the factory truck wiring.

Here's the schematic for the headlights. Very simple circuit.
