Default Headlight quit working 2005 M50.

On the ride home from work on Wednesday, my headlight quit working on my 2005 M50.

This is what I know so far:

1. Headlight is fine (no voltage at headlight plug).
2. Fuses are fine (no voltage on either side of the fuses in fuse box).
3. All other fuses have voltage.
4. No voltage to hi/low switch (switch is working fine - tested by impedance).
5. Turn signals, brake light, etc all workfine.

I do not have a shop manual for this bike, so I have no access to wiring diagrams. Service tech at dealer said that the wire from the battery could travel through to switches before heading back to fuse box. This makes sense since there are 2 fuses (1 for hi beam and 1 for low).

Can anybody help out with this?

Thanks,
