Headlight contacts

Hi,

My low beam has gone on my toyota Ist. The contact is severly burnt and a bit melted.
Does anyone know if there are places that will repair the contact. I assume its a bit more than an auto electician can do.
The contact is hld on by what looks like small copper rivets.
I'm located in Christchurch. Thanks

What contact where! --exactly what are you trying to fix.--ie what specific component.! --usually burned /melted is a symptom of something else being faulty

I would try an auto sparkie first, it SHOULD be well within the scope of their job.

On the switch it it has a cam that slides across when the switch is turned. This lets the low beam contact drop and make contact. This is the one that is burnt.
