It was the hi/low beam switch on my car that did this also. I simply removed
the steering cowl and cleaned the contacts and lubed with vaseline. Good for
2 years so far!! Next time I would look at taking the switch in and having
the contacts gold plated for longevity. Should be around 20 bucks and last a
lot longer.
Alternately a relay can be added to handle the bulb current, which is
substantial. A 15 amp relay should cut the mustard.
Kind regards,
