It may have been the switch but as the wiring harness was replaced
recently it may have been a loose connection.
Inspect the loom carefully for molten/damaged wires along the line
especially when a bundle of wires are wrapped together.
It is always advisable to use these old switches for operating a relay
that in turn will switch the headlights. The same goes for any items
using a fair bit of electricity, blower motor, windscreen wipers, horns etc.
