Is the only change you made, the headlight switch?

Were the lights and wipers functioning properly before you replaced the headlamp switch?
If yes, I agree with Duragno Boy.

Did you disconnect and reconnect any of the override swithces during the headlamp switch change out?
If yes, recheck these connections.
