Default Brights don't work!?

I just finished replacing the headlight and spots on my 2010 RK with Custom Dynamics halos.
Fantastic lights!
But when I flip toggle switch for brights I get nothing.......the normal stays on but no brights.
It was like that before I installed the CDs.
I'm not terribly savvy with electrical so can anyone tell me where to start and what to do?
Could it just be the toggle switch?
Is there a way to tell?
Tx in advance!

I’d start with cleaning up that wiring mess in the headlight bucket that you showed in your other thread. You’ll probably need a wiring diagram, which should be in the service manual or you can find one here:
