If your hazards work, but the TSs don't, then the bulbs and the 
wiring to the bulbs is okay. I would look at the wiring to and from 
the TS switch. A burned out brake light won't have any effect on 
this.

You've probably destroyed the variable resistor that is built into the 
headlight switch. This is a rather expensive part, but you should be 
able to replace that bulb (first! ;-) and then turn the knob fully CW 
and get the bulbs to come on at full intensity.
