Dorman - HELP Headlight Switch Knob P/N:76872
Get a secure grip back on your headlight control with this Dorman switch knob, part number 76870 from Dorman - HELP, a replacement headlight switch knob designed to match the original knob's fit and function. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1995-2006 Ford Ranger and 1992-1995 Ford Taurus. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A headlight switch knob is the piece you grip to operate the headlight switch. Over time the original can crack, break, work loose on its shaft or go missing entirely, which leaves the control awkward to use. If your original knob is damaged or missing, this knob replaces it. It is the knob only and does not replace the headlight switch itself, so if the switch has an electrical fault, diagnose that separately.
