Have you tried grounding the dome light wire at the headlight switch? This will make sure if the wire not broken, if the light comes on then the wire is good. Then the problem would be at the light switch. The switch body needs to have a good ground. If there any paint or rust on either side of the switch mounting hole our on the switch body where it make contact with the dash will need to be clean. While you have the switch out make sure the switch has a good continuity (with the switch in the on position), from the male spade terminal to the switch body.

Hope this help.
