The original headlight switch was probably fine. The new headlight switch is most certainly fine.

Start with the basics.

Put the headlights on and check for power at fuses 6 and 8. Check on both sides of each fuse.

Then, put the high beams on and check for power at fuses 2 and 4. Check on both sides of the fuse.

Pull all four fuses and replace them or clean the contacts thoroughly.

Report back with results.

Note that I'm using the '84 diagram since I don't have the '82 and it does not seem to be available online.
