Honda Blackbird Headlight problem

Right went to change my headlamp bulb today as the low beam stopped working,after a lot of fiddling and cussing managed to remove the bulb.

Tested it and was found to be perfectly good... So did a few tests with a metre and found that I had lost my fead for low beam out of the plug into the back of the light bulb.

So I moved further up to the switch gear and did a few tests found that it worked completly different to anything i've ever seen before (scratches head)

Can someone please explain how this can work,I have 2 live feeds up to the switch gear in high-beam position and only 1 when in low position.
The other thing is I only have 2 wires up to the switch gear which lost me even more:xm

Basically if someone can explain to me how this system works it would help me greatly in getting to the bottom of the problem at why i have lost my low-beam light.

I've also managed to try some different relays in the back under the seat as noticed these were clicking when switching between positions on the switch.

Any help would be greatly aprietiated as this has lost me completly...

Ha sorry how rude of me. Hi guys.

I've forgotten my manners...

The bike is a 2000 model.

Model is a CBR 1100 Super Blackbird.

Had another look at it the weekend lost a couple of hours easy but still none the wiser at how this system works...:bang:
