The headlight switch has a built in circuit breaker. It is to protect the system in case of a short. Also the voltage regulator is built into the alternator. Or, you could just have a bad ground somewhere.

What would cause the dash and parking lights not to work on a 1992 Honda Accord?
The license plate light fuse. It's a 10A fuse if I remember
correctly. Sounds crazy, but I had no running lights and no lights
other than warning lights on my instrument panel and it took me
forever to figure it out. Apparently that whole circuit runs off of
that one fuse. I have a 2000 Honda Accord, but I would assume it
would be the same for a 1992.

Why would the headlights blink rapidly on my 1993 Ford Thunderbird?
If it is anything like my '88, it is probably a relay. If you
have stock fog lights, try turning them off and see if this helps.
On mine, if I turn the fog lights off when the headlights start to
blink it fixes the problem...untill i turn the fog lights back on
that is. there was a recall to correct this-contact your
dealer-they repaired mine for free because of the recall.

Asked in Toyota Cressida
Why do Toyota Cressida dash lights stay on after engine starts?
Are you talking about the lights that are under the gauges, that
read "check engine", battery, oil press, etc.? If so, your ecu is
not getting a STA signal, or start signal. You need to test for ecu
trouble codes. To do this... go under the bonnet and find the
DIAGNOSIS box. Jumper terminals TE1 and E1. Start the engine. Watch
the Check engine light blink. It works kind of like Morse code. For
instance... BLINK BLINK ... pause ... BLINK...
