Here are 2 images of the rear lighting circuit and the headlight circuits. Download them and view them in Windows Photo Viewer, Photoshop, or something similar so you can zoom them.

You need to determine why the area of the headlight switch got so hot and correct that issue or it will keep happening and possibly get worse.
