Does anyone know where I might find one of these? It's on the left handlebar of an R69. Lower button is the horn, upper switch is high beam. Thanks.

What’s wrong with the one currently installed?

When I activated the high beams, the switch started smoking and got so hot it charred my finger. Also, the switch felt loose like something was amiss inside . . . .

You can take the switch apart and correct the problem, most likely. As you (will) see, new ones are quite pricey.

May not be the switch it could also be a bad or shorted harness on the high side
