Corrosion in the connector?

 I'm betting it's the headlight switch.

If it's teh same problem as mine (no power tot eh light) there's an easy cheat. Just run a jumper left to right, spade connectors are there  on the lights and make it easy. |Not the right way, but it works. Have done it on 2 different cars.....
