Hi again,

The same forces that killed your original switch are at work. Folks like to blame and replace components, because they are easy to plug in. In this, and many cases like it, the connection is at fault, not the component, but the switch will eventually suffer heat damage and need to be replaced again. A loose connection, carrying the kind of current needed to run headlights, will generate a lot of heat.

Mechanics can buy a "pigtail" connector to renew the entire socket, or repair the individual wire with a new spade connector, depending on their skills and tool collection. Check out the repair Wes made yesterday. It is a relay in his case, but the same stuff is going on:
