You can just get headlights if the switch is gone if you have a spare one swap them and see what happens.

Have u got front side lights?

If not the fuses are more than likely gone in the fuse box! Theres one for each side.

Pretty sure the relays dont operate the sidelights. But have a play with the relays in the fuse box, remove them all and check for corrosion.

If not i'd say change the stalk.
