Smoke coming from headlight stem switch?

Mike. I had the same problem with a Maestro that I one owned. There is too much current going through the switch and it's overheating. I connected the lights to a couple of relays powered from a fused link direct from the battery, the relays do the switching and only a small current goes through the light switch. The relays come with a wiring diagram so it's not a hard job. Hope this helps
