Thank you. The plunger is not turning them off or on, they just stay on. Very likely this plunger/switch is not working. It is original as far as I can tell and was seized in the off position (pushed in, is off?).
It did not have a fuse inline from the switch to the amp gauge. I found one at the auto parts store when I was swapping bulbs. They only one they had was a 30amp.
****Just swapped out the old switch and replaced it while also adding an inline fuse. Everything is working perfectly now. I did realize that the left side light is missing the Headlight retaining ring. I wonder if this is why the bulb was cracked. I bet those are not easy to find.
