scottoho:

I have seen the exact same problem you describe before on old domestic cars. In those there was a part in the lighting system called a "ballast". It was actually a transformer of some sort.

I am not aware that a first Gen Mr2 has a separate "ballast" component. The closest thing an old Mr2 has to a ballast is the light switch. Again, recommend you find a lightswitch at a junkyard, or see if toyota still sells them. I gotta admit, I'm the kind of guy who would disassemble the switch and see if I could fix it. I learned that from visits into Mexico. They try to fix the part, rather than the American approach of replace anything that even smells of failure.
