'78 headlight issues

Hey guys, my truck is kind of like this but it seems like a heat sink problem, on low's my lights will work all night, but after a few min on high the lights will flicker on and off. If I turn it back to lows doesn't necessarily make the problem go away, that only happens if I open the vent under the dash on the kick panel and blow cool air under the dash, the problem will go away again. I am thinking the light switch in the dash is bad, what's your opinions?

No heat sink.
The breaker is built into the switch ,that's why the flcikering lights & that's why the cool air helps it out.
GM used a relay system, & this is something I encourage users to do to their trucks.
Run the Lights off of relays.

When you say lighting is marginal please be more specific.
headlights,interior lights,marker lights ?
I suggest to do the modification.
It costs about $25.00 and takes an afternoon to do.
Just make sure you get the good BOSCH relays and the new Fuse (Blade fuse) wiring for the job.
I will post 2 more sites than the one above.
