Headlight switch intermittent?

Headlight switch intermittent?
I noticed on my ride to work yesterday morning that my headlight was out.
A little discomforting when riding in the dark..
Flicked on the high beams - and back to low - and the headlight was fine.
When I got home - I noticed that toggling back and forth would sometimes result in the low beam being off.
Slight pressure to the switch would bring the low beam back on again.
I have a flash-2-pass door opener, so the switch gets daily use - do these switches go bad that quickly?
I'm pretty sure it's not a loose connection on the bulb itself - since just pressing on the switch can turn it on and off...
Bad switch - or just need some contact cleaner?
