Headlight switch shuts off tail lights, turn signals, and dash lights! Help!

I am having a contact issue with the headlight switch. The tail lights and turn signals as well as the gauge lights don't turn on if you turn the headlights on. I solved the problem by sticking a piece of a credit card in that little opening between the fog lamp switch and headlight switch. This USUALLY works but the card is starting to lose its stiffness now and sometimes it will become dislodged mid-driving and the gauge lights will just go off and that's how i know the tail lights and signals have gone off as well. How can I fix this permanently?
