Forgot to mention to clean out old switches by injecting plenty of WD40,
operating them say 20 times and then rinse them out as well as possible
with WD40.
I do this on a regular bases, say once every 5 years and hardly ever
have any switch problems

It is always advisable to use these old switches for operating a
relay that in turn will switch the headlights. The same goes for
any items using a fair bit of electricity, blower motor,
windscreen wipers, horns etc.<br>
