KDP & headlights

I have done the tab fix on two trucks. My 95 at 74,000 had the pin sticking out about 1/4". My friends 98 at 70,000 had the pin out about 3/8" and I was able to push it back in with my finger! I think both of these would have failed. Both of us have lost 5th gear! I will do another friends 96 this week-end. For $50.00 worth of parts and about 3 hours labor a person can have piece of mind...It's still the best damm truck I ever owned.
On my friends 96 the headlights go out when he turns them on bright. I checked the archives and all roads lead to the switch. Seems to me I remember reading a safety recall on this, but I can't find it. It's a 2500. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
I use a friends computer and his email is, sandtsmom@msn.com
