A headlight dimmer switch changes the headlights between low beam and high beam. Standard is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. It maintains complete quality control throughout manufacturing, from componentry to the finished switch.
Signs this part may need replacing: The headlights may stay stuck on one beam, a beam setting may cut out or work only intermittently, or nothing may change when you operate the switch. Bulbs, wiring and connections can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the headlight circuit first. If a worn dimmer switch is the cause, the DS-40 replaces it.
Fitment: Coverage also includes many other Auburn, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Franklin and GMC models. Several model names are close but cover different years, such as the Buick Century and the Buick Century Series 60. Match your exact model and year in the Buyer's Guide tab.
