Headlight Switch

Anyone ever replace the bulb(s) in their headlight switch?

Mine recently burned out. Man is it annoying when dash lights burn out.

Just wondering what I am up against cause I've never had one out. Are they little bulbs soldered in, or is it one bulb that is replacable?

Sounds like another write-up for you to do Tim!

Re: Headlight Switch

It's on my list of things to do, also...........it's the only bulbs that don't work on my dash.
I already did the driver information panel backlights, and the radio backlight......I just need time for this one.

Re: Headlight Switch

I just got a 20.00 replacement for mine at the junkyard. I still have the old one, I may take it apart and see what type of bulb is in there.

Re: Headlight Switch

The bulb in my heated seats switch is out so one of these days I'm going to attempt to put an LED in there too.

Re: Headlight Switch

Matt, did you ever get your outside temp to display correctly on the HVAC?

Re: Headlight Switch

Sweet! I knew that was your issue. Mine did the 50 degrees outside temp issue too when I first bought it. I traced my issue back to a connector near the battery compartment that was covered in battery acid and corroded badly.
