Headlight switch relays
Anyone know the part numbers and where they got their relays to rebuild the headlight switch ?
Tired of buying 20+ yr old switches only to fail after a short time.

Boosted >> Are you replacing the switch AND harness each time? If not the new switch will just burn out again 
[And have you cleaned ALL corrosion out of your front turn signal sockets and coated them with Dielectric/bulb grease?]
I highly recommend doing Icemark's relay install. For that you'll need a relay [30Amp] with the terminals 85, 87, 87a, 86, 30. The industry name [acronym] of the relay has changed since he wrote it though, so keep that in mind. [I bought mine at Fry's Electronics, but Radioshack, audio shops, etc should have it]
If you do Icemark's mod, the switch should last a VERY long time [as it will ONLY carry the dashboard lights' load afterwards]. Also, clean those turn signal sockets regardless. ^_-
