welcome to BF bro !
the brake light working kind of eliminates the voltage regulator as the problem, as at least one of your lights is working.
i'd say you have one of the 2 filaments bad in the brake light, it is a running and brake light, 2 filaments in one bulb.
can you use an ohmeter to check the headlight bulb for continuity of the filaments in the bulb ?
sometimes they can "look" good, but actually be burnt,
or get it running and check for voltage at the socket of the headlight ???

hmmm, thats odd, most lights that are dual running and brake, are a dual filament bulb with 2 terminals and the outer case as the ground
BTW...for the wiring diagrams, the manual and the 03+ supplement can be found here...................

just checked continuity of the bulb and it is fine. i also checked continuity between the yellow wire and earth, and the green wire and earth when i had it switched on hi or low and it was fine. would this indicate the voltage reg? my brake light is working fine doe.
I think someone may have installed a 2001 or older tail light on your 2003. Both will mount up fine, but the 2001 and older tail light only has two wires and was only used as a running light. I'm guessing they pluged it into the brake light feed. Check for A/C voltage to the Yellow-Red wire that feeds your light switch. Near the head light check for A/C voltage on YELLOW for High beam. Green for Low beam. Also check for ground between the black wire on the head light and the frame.
