Default 93 headlight problems, wont turn on

I have a 93 camry v6 LE, the problems started happening a few months ago. When i turn my headlights on they wouldnt turn on, id have to jiggle the turn signal. now they wont turn on at all unless i have the right turn signal on, or i hold the turn signal in a certain spot right before the right turn signal clicks on. Brights work, lights work but only when the right turn signal is on

The switch works by connecting the headlights to ground. There could be a poor connection within the switch.

If you can access the switch contacts spraying contact cleaner in the area may help.

You can also buy another switch, however they are expensive. Might try a junkyard.

Where is the switch located, and is it easy to get to?
