Have you checked that the new combo switch has continuity through it when switched on to each light setting?

the combo switches play up a bit, give it a clean out

I had drama's with my mq headlight's, I found there is a relay in the circuit up on the inner guard that caused all my grieve. I spent many hours messing around with the headlight switch before I found it.
