Default headlight issues help please

All,
2014 FXDB
Recently i realized that my headlight was off while riding and after some investigation it seems that the connection was loose in the neck.
now I've got the low beam working and i have confirmed that the hi beams work but they do not work when plugged in to the connector and the switch is toggled voltage is reading low 1.2v on the high beam line.
any suggestions?
Could this have shorted somewhere or would it be worth checking the handlebar switch?
also does anyone know the PN# for new pins/sockets for the 4pin tyco connector in the neck it might be worth replacing these also.

Figured it out loose connections in the main headlight connection in the neck, slightly bent the pins down to make better contact with the sockets all gravy now.
