I would say go back to where you began and check those connections that you made in the headlamp bucket. Do you have multimeter ? Turn off the bike and check switch contacts for the front brake with ohmmeter . Pull the taillamp bulb out and leave it out while testing. If the filaments have collapsed and crossed when the brake light come on 12V can get to the HL (they come on together). It sounds like a collapsed/crossed (not open) filament. I assume you have a standard filament bulb ?
