Have you checked the relay?

FWIW, you can test relays with a 9v battery and a meter really quick on the bench.

I checked the relay for the high beam. Do not know where the low beam relay is located.

There is no relay to check in the low beam circuit.

It's a straight circuit from fuse F40, through the headlight switch, through the MFS, through individual fuses for each low beam circuit and then out to the low beam bulbs. Nuthin' fancy.

I think I would check the power at the bulbs. It might be as simple as burned out bulb filaments.
I replaced my headlight bulb in my 2007 Yamaha Venture motorcycle which uses a 9003/H4 bulb with a Sylvania Ultra the brightest one. It burned out immediately on both filaments??? So, I bought the lowest output bulb and it works great.
