As Hugh noted, that headlight switch is a disaster waiting to happen. You probably need to replace it.
For some odd reason Porsche didn't put in a relay(s) for the headlights. So all the current to the bulbs is going through the switch itself. Bad design.
You have an '84 so the switch failing on even normal 55/60 watt bulbs isn't a great suprise.
I sell a headlight upgrade package. Some people don't want to buy the wiring harness part of it but still want to run 90/100 watt bulbs in the E-Code Cibies. I tell them that isn't such a good idea as the headlight switch is going to give out sooner or later. And they may melt other things, like their wiring.
Some people do it anyways. You can lead a horse to water ...
