Although I have not done it yet, it might be possible to repair your switch.

I have repaired some of the old Lucas switches used on Volvo 1800. My brother used to repair one of the Volvo 1800 turn signal switches before new ones became available for less money.

I have seen at least one 444 with a modified headlight switch. Someone installed a modified toggle switch in the old switch housing. It was ugly, it had only one position so you could not illuminate just the running lights, but it did work.

If you opt for this fix, just make sure the toggle switch can handle the amperage.
