My brights are gone. Headlight switch part #?

My headlights have lost the brights, At first it was just the right side bright, then the left went-but sometimes works for a minute. I changed the 9004 harness's before to heavy duty ones when I put eurolights in. I'm thinking it's the switch in the steering collum. Anyone else go through this problem?
Anyone know the part number off hand?-so I can search for it online without getting a web site run around.

The sw is bad quality, eventually fails always. Overload it, and soon its burned. Clean it and install relays, the sw might survive long time with the minuscle relay load. I installed relays before the burnup, like this. Voltage to lamps was boosted 30%... brightness explosion.

The hi beam switch on these cars is prone to fail......Mine done the same thing.....The switch is about $60 buck at idiotzone.

Good idea with using the relays to reduce elec. load on the switch. See, now this is stuff worth talking about.
