I agree it sounds electrical. After checking the headlight switch and fuse box check the front heater blower fan. This fan can sieze up and cause wires to melt or burn. A probabile source of the smell and smoke if you were using the heater fan and it was squeeking. If this is the source a temporary fix could be not using the heater fan--you can still use the heat, just leave the fan switch in the off position. Heat will still circulate without the fan on. But find the problem before you get going too far because an electrical fire is not something you want.
