You been running your fogs and head lights at the same time? Not sure if the problem was fixed in new years, but I know foxes, the gauge wire they use gets too hot which causes a lot of resistance in the wiring and cause's them to shut off.

How hard is it to change the switch?

its very easy go buy it at the dealrship dont buy from kragen they arent good.all you gotta do is use a flat head screw driver to take the headkight switch nob nd i think its an 8 or 7 mm socket to take the cover.make sure you umplug your negative from batery
