Ok i have searched this forum for a while and have found some good write up about the headlight switch and its problems but none have covered this (that i have seen) my interior and my tail lights dont come on with the switch so i used the stereo wiring and a toggle switch to make that happen so i followed the write ups after deleting the toggle switch and cleaned my headlight switch extensively but with no positive result now they will work sometimes and sometimes they will not any idea on where the problem might be coming from i am completely stumped on this one now

Check your tail light and radio fuses, trust me. My interior lights and tail lights didn't work and it was actually cause of my radio. It kept blowing my tail light fuse. All I did was bypass the factory speaker wiring (wired the speakers directly to the head unit) and it fixed the problem. If both of those are good then let us know. Of course check all the fuses, especially the ones on the inside of the vehicle.

checked all fuses with only 1 being blown, but it was just the stop lamp fuse. switched it and still work for now. really though the thing that bothers me is that they might and might not work i hate being surprised lol
