Hmmm never thought of it looking Hurst like...Hurst Galaxie Hmmm.
You have got to get relays! 2 things, 20 minute job under the hood...if that. Plus, after the relay install, your lights will be brighter, period.

I had the same thing happen to my 65...halogen bulbs...got hot and flashed. Relays in ... no more problems. You can get them from Mark Reynolds at the Galaxie Club. Well worth it...especially this time of year when the sun is down a 5p...

Forget the switch...it is a temp fix and will go bad because of the current being drawn... and you never know when that will happen, usually at a very bad moment in time.
