Hi Dylan, and welcome to the forum.
There is a good chance your problem is just down to the switchgear. If you're lucky, squirting a bit of contact cleaner in the light switch and working it on and off for a while will clean the contacts up. If that doesn't do the trick you may have enough corrosion in there to necessitate dismantling it... it's a pain in the arse to get back together afterwards though.
Other possibilities: corroded contacts in the connector box under the tank or a broken wire at some point where the harness flexes as the steering moves. But have a go at the switch first.
