The new switch is on! I got lights again! They are a little sketchy though. When I turn the knob to dim the intrument panel light, or turn on the light in the roof the headlight can sometimes come and go. I put every wire back on the new switch really carefully and think they have good connection. Any idea?

My first guess is that some of your wires are damaged and will need to be repaired. Also, is this a new switch or a used one from another car?

I got a brand new one from www.rockauto.com

I could however only see that much of the wires coming out from under the dash. it's so tight under there. But what I did see looked good. I guess they continue up under the dash into the firewall? They might very well be damaged there.
