heh. until my lazy bum gets around to wirin' in some relays for my 
headlights, my little 
girl Bette would eat through a headlight switch every 6 months, they melt 
apart 
internally. fortunately, the first time mine did this the switch did not
melt 
to the socket. 
to solve this problem, i created a copy of a dummy switch that i saw once, 
and this is how i work my headlights until further notice. the 
obvious downside is that one must always plug one's lights in and they arent

easy to 
just flip on. you can stretch the life of the switch a bit by positioning it

a bit between 
the 1 and 2 options on the switch, ie when the switch in is position #1 
slowly turn it 
until the headlights come on and leave it in that halfway position, not
fully 
in #2.

hth.
