Question Headlight switch replacement

ARGH!!! The dash light dimmer in my headlight switch burned out and now my dash lights are OUT. When I turn the **** all the way up to turn on the dome light, the dash lights come back on, so it's not a blown fuse or broken wire. So... who makes the BEST replacement? Please note that I replaced the 194 bulbs in the cluster with brighter 168s, so that may be why the thing failed. I guess I'm looking for a switch with a dimmer that can handle the extra load. Suggestions? Thanks!

Sometimes it's just an issue of the switch being dirty. Sometimes my lights don't work until I twist or jiggle the **** a little. As for replacements, if you find any aftermarket one at all, I highly doubt it'll be any different than stock.

Being that it is a multi function assembly they isn't an aftermarket unit. Only OE replacements.
