56 Headlight Switch Replacement

I can't find a headlight switch for my 56. I finally found a switch but it was defective as the reostat was broken so the interior lights wouldn't come on. I've looked at universal replacements but nothing seems right. Does anyone know of a good switch that will work on this car. Will switches from other GM cars retrofit? I really need help with this one and would really be thankful for some help here.

this is a problem mine is bad also I connected the dash lite wire to connection for the head lite feed. they work in low beam and high I hope this helps:laugh_4:
 
I have a switch from a '56. Took it apart. Cleaned it & greased it & tested the switch & the rheostat with an OHM meter & it tests good. $59.00 shipped in the 48 States.
