My interior head lamp switch on the dash board is malfunctioning and has the headlamps illuminating at will only when I have the headlamp switch turned on. This has now forced me to avoid driving at night.Where can I find a website that sells this interior head lamp switch fairly inexpensive?

try ebay, also search on ‘crown victoria parting’ and you’ll get guys that are parting out cars and will have one cheap.

Please be aware that your problem might be with the LCM (Lighting Control Module) instead.

I don’t understand. You headlamps are on only when the switch is in the on position? What do you expect, the lights to be on when it is in the OFF position? Explain more. You may be replacing the wrong part.
