Angry short problem somewhere

Hello all fellow riders!! When I'm riding my 99 sportster, if I click on high beam, the speedo works just fine. When I click on low beam, speedo jumps from zero to speed I'm riding, plus flashes on and off. Odometer which is digital flickers like crazy. On high beam just fine. Is there a short in the headlight compartment or in the hi/low beam switch?? Thank you to all in advance. Drives me nuts..

It's not that life is too short.....But your dead for so long...
