It will be the headlight switch itself has worn contacts and just needs the assembly replaced in most cases.If you jiggle or move the switch arm to make them come back on this pretty much means that is the problems no matter the year truck.It will not be the headlight relay or fuses.Mazda can tell you what part to replace unless you do not know how to fix things of this mechanical repair.Ok

What is the difference between a normally open and a normally closed switch?
In switch language, open means to disconnect, or break the circuit. Some people call this "turned off". Closed, is to connect, or make the circuit. Some people call this turned on. In the case of a normally open switch, the switch is open (off) unless something takes action on the switch. Pushes a button for example, or holds a magnet near the switch, or other active force. A normally closed switch is closed (on) unless some force causes the switch to be opened.

Make sure that the switch on the top of the steering column in turned off. That controls the running lights on the car. FYI that switch is basically used if you are pulled over somewhere and don't need help but yet you need your lights on and still need to take your keys.

You can't turn the lights off on a Golf MK4 unless you buy and install a Euro headlight switch (about 30 dollars on Ebay). The installation is as simple as pulling the stock headlight switch out and sliding the new one in (no wires so splice, it is a plug and play item).

On older vehicles you replace the entire headlight. On the newer vehicles you just replace the bulb unless the headlight assembly is damaged.
Why does the battery and parking brake light stay on dim when the car is turned off?
It's possible that you have a bad ignition switch. Normally, those lights won't turn on unless the ignition is turned to the "Run" position. A bad switch may be allowing current to flow through one or more contacts when it's not supposed to.
