[DML] Re: Headlight switches

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The switch saver is a good idea but we should still have the switches 
available. They may physically break from use and still need 
replacing. The plastic is 25 years old and getting brittle from age.

For the record, mine melted down due to excess resistance in the 
circuit from filthy fuses, relays and the contacts on the switch 
itself. My headlight switch contacts were green/black. Once I cleaned 
all of that, the temperature difference in the wiring and at the fuse 
was very noticable.

As far as just installing a hazard switch as a replacement, some of 
us simply want the option of using our parking lights when parked, 
and not turning on all of the lights. Still, information like that is 
great to have if you're in a pinch.
