Default Headlight Not Recieving Power??

Ok so here's what's going on.
My bike is completely stripped right now while I wait for new fairings in the mail.
I am converting back to the stock headlamp with the H4 bulb because the previous owner had some ghetto looking street fighter set-up with Walmart fog lamps for headlights

I was able to locate and gather the three main headlamp wires.
Green, for ground. White, for low-beam. Blue, for high-beam.
Only problem is, I am recieving no power from the white or blue wires.
I tried doing a direct connection to the battery to trouble shoot, and it turns out that the bulb is working and so is the ground, it's just the two stock positive wires that have no power.

Any ideas?
I've already checked the fuse box to the right of gauges; all fuses are in tact and not blown.
Is there a secondary fuse box I'm missing like on cars?
Failing high/low beam switch?
Poor connection at the ignition kill switch?

I've tried tracing the wires best I can and everything seems to be in-tact in that aspect.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help,
-Brian

Power to the headlight comes via the Starter Switch. The Blue/White wire which is the source power to the Dimmer Switch comes from the Starter Switch on the right Clip-On. From the 10A fuse in the fuse box, there is a Black/Red wire that goes to the Starter Switch.

By Starter Switch are you referring to the ignition kill switch?
