I've heard of this before, but can't really remember what the answer is. First, I'd check the resistance across the terminals of the bulb. I suppose you could also check the voltages you get to each of the wires that lead to the bulb...obviously, if you don't get 12v to the high and low beam wires, then the problem is not the bulb. Second, I would suspect the light relay.
 
Check your installation

I would carefully check where you have the wires for the new switch plugged in.

Things are tight in the headlight, it is easy to get wires on the wrong terminal. St.
