Some OE headlight switches are worse than others. I have had a number go bad, essentially the plastic material inside crumbles and gets in the way of the contacts. In every case the switch has been the light colored exterior, and never one with a black exterior. Whenever I grab a switch at a pick and pull I give it a good shake first. If you shake it and can hear bits rattling around it is toast.
