MG enthusiasts around the world,

Thanks to all who offered help with my distributer vacuum unit and gas tank 
problems.  Everything's working great now....except the headlights.  I 
was driving on the freeway with my headlights on when suddenly smoke 
began to rise up from the steering column on the side of the headlight 
switch.  When I stopped the car I think a puff of smoke escaped the hood 
just in front of me.  The interior of my car had gotten wet a couple days 
earlier, and it may have still been damp.  Don't know if that had 
anything to do with it.  Anyway...the headlights, tail-lights and parking 
lights now longer work.  Reverse lights, turn signals, and brake lights 
still work, but when I flip the headlight switch nothing happens.  It 
seems logical to me that the switch needs to be replaced, but I have very 
little electrical expertise (plug it in and it should work).  I 
appreciate any hints, ideas, advice, etc. 

Thanks
