And time you have trouble with your headlight switch, replace it
immediately. I'll tell you a story.
My switch worked fine on and off, but for dimming the interior lights it sucked, it either turned them on or off, or half way between, not nice and smooth like they are supposed too. I thought, ah, why go through the hassle of changing the switch. A couple months later i was driving home from the city and the kick panel vents were open and all of a sudden this awful smell filled the car. I thought it was from outside so I closed the vents and windows but it still hung around. Then all of a sudden I started to see this glow on the left side of my speedo, I went to shut off the interior lights to see what it was and when I grabbed the knob it was super hot, to hot to touch for more than a couple seconds. My light switch was on fire. Well ****, i've never freaked out like I did that night, I tell you my car is my pride and joy and if it burned because I was to lazy to change a 20 dollar light switch I would kill myself. Luckily I had been doing a lot of work under the dash lately and only had it partially screwed down, and the corner screws were missing, so I lifted the corner of the dash and managed to blow out the flames. Jumped into the car, 120mph flight for bout a mile, stop and blow out flames again, another 120mph flight to a gas station where I blew out the flames again. Removed the dash, removed the light switch, and had to wait for 2 hours for my dad to show up with a car trailer (there was no way I was leaving my car overnight in the town I was in, I would have slept in it first). When I got the new switch I found out it was only worth 20 bucks, and takes 30 minutes to change, so don't be lazy, fix it now!
Also, if your ignition switch doesn't lock, (when I got my car I could start it without a key) it only costs about 20 bucks for that to so don't be slack about that either.
Sorry for the long post but maybe it'll put enough fear into you to fix it now
