One of my friend is coming home with his new Delorean from Belfast and the first problem appeared. When he switched on the light, the switch jammed and now only the side markers and the tail lamp works. What should he do to constantly switch on the headlamp? Is there any wires what he connects will do this?

Well, Now I have the solution. You have to connect the blue wire to the blue-brown wire, and then your light is on.

This may be true, but do not forget to use a relay in the power line.
Any switch then can be used switch to turn on/off the lights.
Mind that this only can be a temporary solution.

Replacement (or repair if possible) of the light switch is the next thing to do.

Jumping only the Blue wire out of the switch won't give you side or tail lights -- you need to jump Red/Green as well.

In a pinch you can drive with the hazard flashers on (that's what I did when I jumped the headlights at the relay end).

Of course this is only a temporary solution. It was just needed for two days. Now the fix comes.
