I changed out the hi.lo headlight switch today, and now i have no headlights but all other lights works. fuses are good, anyone else have this problem?

I did this recently too, you'll love that "new switch" feel when you get it working...

My first SWAG would be that one (or both) of the flying leads to the light switch maybe didn't go back quite to the right place (there's a spare terminal or two on my car) - I'd double check those.

I had starting problems for a week, which I now think were due to the pins on the bulkhead plug from the ignition switch not making a good enough connection.

Because the rubber moulding "seats" tightly into the socket, it can be hard to tell if the electrical connection is good - and it can read OK for connectivity on a multimeter but not really pass any juice... Try spreading the pins in the plug apart with a small screwdriver (the pins are split).

You might want make sure that the pin receivers in the bulkhead aren't oxidised or corroded as well - some rolled-up 600 grit twisted in there for 5 seconds or so works wonders...

HTH.
