Default headlight switch asembly problem

My problem is when switched to the first position, eveything (including tail, parking, and dash) works, but no headlights. When switched to the second position only the headlights work. When the problem first appeared, I actually saw small wisps of electrical smoke coming from the area of the head light assembly. I am able to get all lights to work at once if I carefully turn the switch just between the 1st and 2nd position, but any little bump will cause either sets of lights to fail. Could you possibly send me a brief tutorial on how to fix or replace this part? The nearest landrover dealership is a couple hour drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check the area where you first saw the smoke that's an indication of a short.
