Default headlight switch big issue

so since i have owned my car (two years) i've had to replace the switch at least 6 times. They usually last a few months before dying on me! I've checked and can't find a short anywhere and can't figure out why this is happening. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Its a 99 pre facelift where the switch is still on the steering coloumn

Does the switch power a relay?
