DIY custom headlight switch

I’m done looking for a severely overpriced likely not functioning used headlight switch.
My car is a wild beast outlaw pile. I don’t need an original anything let alone a stupid headlight switch. I have an 1983 wire harness.
My question is
Has anyone just made a simple headlight switch? Or even an ignition switch?
I have H4s.
Thanks

Have you considered the headlight/lights relay mods? If so, just about any switch will do...

Yea, instead of light power going from the frunk fuse panel through the headlight switch, I installed a series of relays near the frunk fuse block. What used to be power from the switch is now just the relay trigger signal. I brought new fused power through the relay on a much shorter path.
