also, don't forget to read the 1st gen FAQ: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/1st-gen-rx-7-faq-page-237777/

a lot of times the contacts in the actual light switch get worn and need to be cleaned. the filthy contacts will cause conditions such as what you are experiencing. does you headlight switch located above the shifter work properly?
