ok all fuses and bulbs are good, headlights are new sylvania silverstar 9004 12v bulbs, i was thinking maybe these are the wrong bulbs or something.

heres my problem now i bought a used headlight switch on ebay from a 95 1500 dodge ram, my old one was fried so i put the new one in and tried it out, tail lights now work, but now my head lights dont work... is it possible i got another bad head light switch?

before i had no tail lights and my headlights worked fine, i also didnt have running lights

now my tail lights and running lights work but my head lights do not, when i switch back and forth between the brights and low beams the headlights flash just once and than go off, if i pull and hold the bright switch towards me, the head lights stay on... any suggestions/ thanks a lot guys

Yeah, that was gonna be my suggestion..... buying used electrical parts really is a crap shoot.
