that sort of proves my point

the contacts are auto reset breakers for the lights, in a basic truck this was your only fuses
there are 2 "contact points" on the headlight switch, 1 side for headlights, i side for tail lights
if you rewired your truck the brake lights should be on their own fuse
when you opened the points, either your headlights or tail lights went out

check your grounds
