James, I'll bet that the headlight relay upgrade has never been installed in your van <www.frankcondelli.com/hdltrela.htm> Therefore your best course of action is to install this headlight relay upgrade and install a new switch. A used switch may be all right if you can find one that has not been abused due the headlight really kit not being installed. The connector for the switch is going to be hard to locate. Hopefully someone on this list has one from a dash harness they are hoarding !
