The dimmer switch directs power to either the high-beam or low-beam headlight circuit. Signs this part may need replacing include high beams that won't engage, headlights stuck on one beam, or beams that flicker or cut out when you switch. If a worn dimmer switch is the cause, DS-256 replaces it; diagnose the circuit first, since bulbs, wiring or connectors can produce similar symptoms.
