Check to see if you are getting power to the taillights when they are not working. IF you are check the grounds. IF you have a good ground then its the bulb holders that are bad.

Did you inspect the plug / wiring at the headlight switch carefully when you replaced the switch? These had a HORRIBLE reputation for melting the wiring and plug connections at the switch. I am assuming that is the reason you replaced the switch, though?
