    Default Headlight issues

    Hey guys and gals,
    headlisghts in my 85 gt would shut off and i would wiggle the wores a bit and they would come back on so figured possibly the known switch issue. Pulled the switch out one day at work and noticed the switch looks to be fairly new but the plug was oem and iffy. NO ONE has a switch on hand but had the pigtail so i bought amd installed that EXCEPT for 2 extra wires that the switch doesnt have prongs for. Mine does have fogs so im assuming thats the “light package”??
    Seemed to be the fix BUT noticed tonight onn the way home the headlights would shut off and a few seconds later come back on and a minute or two later repeat and done that the entire 13 mile drive home.

    Should i just go ahead and order a switch or am i missing something??

    On a side note i forgot to mention.... the dimmer part of the switch doesnt seem to work. If i turn it at all the dash lights go out instead of dimming.

    That's a classic time-for-a-new headlight switch issue.
