Are you certain it's the switch? have you tested it with a multimeter?
Could be the classic 'loose multiplug on main fusebox' or if it is really blowing the switch, a shorting loom. Does it blow any fuses?
Switches are known to go but two in that space of time is...strange
Are relays 3 and 6 in the main fusebox working?
what lights was she using - dipped or full?
Regards, Bruce.

Have you checked the actual connector behind the light switch. One of the pins often overheats. Could it have melted the wire leading to it causing a short?.
