Likely ground problems at the sockets

Check AND clean all the connections. Replace that switch too, they're cheap.

I totally redid the rear harness on our 67 fastback...I left the sockets out of the housing to be able to visually chk as I was doing it myself. I could see the bulbs while I pushed on brake pedal as back seat was folded down, so was rear cargo panel. Couldnt get anything to work?? No lights at all. Chased my tail for a while, then tapped bulb socket to housing and it lit up! Lol, grounds thru the socket.to housing.

Not to mess with this thread but there is a treatment for vertigo/ meniers that helped me immensely. More info - pm me.

My neighbour has meniers off and on pretty bad at times. Several days with eyes closed, not moving. Good luck.

I feel for ya. I minor vertigo attacks. I finally got a couple prescriptions from Doc. They are not often, nor often serious, but here awhile back for about a week I could barely walk or stand, and even nearly got sick just in bed. No fun

I wouldn't worry about the switch so much... it may just need a drop of oil to loosen up. The light symptoms you describe are usually caused by bad grounds, as mentioned.
