The 'Current Distributor' is nothing more than what was once called Fusible Links. They are essentially heavy duty fuses which will melt if they receive a current spike of sufficient energy.
There is no need to remove the distributor, this is essentially a fusebox to hold the links. You can test each one for continuity by setting a DMM to continuity and simultaneously touch one lead (+/-) to each end of the link. If you do not have continuity on your DMM, you can use the resistance function (It uses the symbol omega - Ω to represent Ohms - units of electrical resistance). Again touch a lead to each end of the link and you should see zero or near zero ohms on the display. If you hear a tone, or get zero or near zero, the link is good.
I too think it's the headlight switch.
Cheers!
