Thumbs down headslights dead

First time posting.
I got a 1996 f150 4.9 that I just did the column shift bushings on and now my headlights don't work. As of right now I have everything put back together because I did it in the middle of the day and will pull it back apart tomorrow, but my question is should I go ahead and get a multifunction switch and headlight switch since all my other lights work except my high/ low beams. All I have done is check the fuses and notice when I use the high beams flash they still work just not when I set it to high beam or low beam. As well as before I took the column apart my multifunction switch was pretty clunky did the bushings messed with the switch till it was no longer clunky and thought I was a hero lol. Also if anyone has a nice wiring diagram for my OBS f150 for the headlights id really appreciate it.
Thanks

Here's a diagram for a '96 Bronco. Dive in with a multimeter or test light, until you find the source of the issue.

Might you just have not plugged one of the turn signal switch connectors all the way back in?
Good one Shagg
Check the 30 amp fuse in the underhood box

Gotta thank you guys for sending that wiring diagram. I still had high beam flash so i knew it was something with that back and orange wire or the switch it self and behold the wire got pulled out the connector. Didnt even pull the column apart

Now to find a way to keep the ting in there...
