81 300sd has no headlights and I work at night... plz help

I will be fired if I cant drive to work. Started with no headlamps now no brights either. (unless I pull back on the column switch to flash them.)

Here is what I've done so far. I have a good parts car that I switched all this stuff with and it all worked on that car when it was going.

1. Checked fuses and didn't see any blown.
2. Changed every relay with the other cars. (which one is the right one?)
3. Changed the light switch and now I'm not clear if all the wires are in the right place. Need help with this if possible?
4. Changed the column switch.
5. cried like a little girl.

When I changed the light switch the brights stopped working so I may have a wire out of place. I don't know what else to try but I need to make sure all the wires are in the right place so I can put it back together.

I should add that the first position on the light switch works, the second works, the third is off, the fourth works and the fifth only has the parking lamps with no head lights.

I work nights so I could really use the help. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure there is a diagram there? I only got a not found error when clicking on the electrical portion of one link and engine stuff on the other.
