Short term fix for headlights

Does anybody know a short term fix to have the headlights and parking lights come on. The headlight switch is shot and I will need to replace it. But in the meantime could I manual wire the lights to come on.

this is easy....

First thing you have to do is raise the headlights and unplug the fuse controling the motors.

Second thing you do is pull the switch out and look at the larger connector that goes to it. I can't remember the colors of the wire but you need to find the one that feeds the headlights and the running lights. Tie these two wires together and run a wire from those two to the fuse box. You can pretty much just pick any fuse and hook it up. That way when ever you turn your car on the lights will automatically come on. I also believe that you're brights switch will work, too.
