i know this is an old thread, but yes you can. i took apart an older 90ish switch and put the parts into my 92 switch. not a direct swap, but if you're willing to do a little surgery, it should work just fine.

I know this is an old thread but...

When your headlights go on and off randomly and you have daytime running lights (Canadian models) the cause is bad soldering on the daytime running light module (see Greeny's photo (above). Specifically, it is the two relays in the module that actually have breaks in the solder that binds them to the circuit board.
Solution:
1)Locate the module to the left of the steering column - see Greeny's photo (above)
2)Remove the module and extract the circuit board
3)Using a soldering iron, resolder (re-melt) the connections of the relays (they have visible coiled copper wire on them).
4)Insert the board back into its case and tape / tie it back together (because you busted it up when you removed the board)

I ended up resoldering about half of the board, just to make sure. You can find which relay is worse as one will be cooler than the other (after running the car for a bit).
Problem solved!

I'm glad i could help.......

A headlight on one side was comming on by itself when in a non driving mode and key off. I took out the light sw, module at the steering column and sprayed the contacts with TV Tuner cleaner. I used no sand paper because I did not want to bend the cu. reeds. It worked fine after that. A new module cost about $60 bucks at Nissan.
