If the PA switch is operating correctly then check the relays
The foxeye has 2 relays to power the headlights
One relay is a standard 4 pin normally open relay and the second relay is a 5 pin change over relay. Both are diode protected.
Light Switch on right handlebar turns on the standard relay which powers the dips through the contacts of the change over relay which is off.
Switching to heads turns on the change over relay which switches power from the dims to the heads.
Both relays are behind the screen attached to the fairing bracket with rubber mounts.
Take off the screen and check that the relays are in the correct positions.
It is possible that someone forced the 5 pin relay into the 4 pin position bending the pins causing the problem you describe as the relays are the same physical size with same fitting and look the same externally. The only way to tell the change over relay from a normal one is to look directly at the pins.
For what Val says to happen some one would have to physically remove the connectors from the plug and reverse them, however this would not explain why the dips stay on with the heads.
