Default not another headlight switch question!

My cousin took apart part of the lower dash in order to install a new master cylinder in my car. Now when I turn on my headlights, the little inside light turns on (I don't know what they're called). Only the passenger's side one is on though. When I push my headlight switch a little, it turns off. When I pull the switch out, they don't turn on at all. It's been that way for a while. I'd rather have none of them on than have only one on.

What's the deal with this? I'm kind of scared to even open it and fool around because I've heard horror stories with this headlight switch.

Default one is prob. burnt out >

...there the fog lights (or so called fogs)

and its a nice 250$ dollar mistake.

it can only be fixed by replacing switch, and in your case a new bulb as well.

it happened to my car, and mine dont go off, there on 24/7 when my lights are on.

Default It split apart a bit when it got jostled from the lower dash. You need to take of the lower dash

look at the switch, snap it back together,

Default just make sure its a reputable seller and

they have a high (95-100%)positive feedback

and it always helps to message them before you bid and get a little more details. just to be sure!
