headlight switch loose

is there anyway to repair or replace the headlight switch that got loose badly? the mechanic who tested my new foglight bulb apparently was turning it back and forth like mad last week and it got loose now (you can't hear no click at all when turning it, DAMN!)

Replace the switch. No way to repair and sounds like it was on its way to fail before the mech touched it as rapid switching would not cause it to fail

Have no idea what your skills are. Even going to a dealer to have this done, labor cannot be more than a hour or so.
