QUESTION: Hi I have replaced the switch so it would have to be a short in the wireing harness Yea?

Answer
Your short would be between the switch and the light itself. Check the plugin for the headlight to make sure its good. Also, check the plug for the low beam to make sure the you have 12 volts there. the bulb might be bad
Good luck and happy riding
