Headlight switch is known to fail. There is a very good diy made by smistry007 here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...e-replace.html... See post#6 mentioning cleaning of the switch..But it can also be your litronic control unit that can be switch to the other side for troubleshooting. A box located behind the headlight assembly. Get a used one on Ebay if your troubleshooting point in that direction....
