Standard Ignition Headlight Switch P/N:DS-1028
Take control of your classic's lighting circuit with the Standard Ignition Headlight Switch DS-141 (also written DS141). This switch is the driver-operated control that directs current to the vehicle's headlamp circuit — and on many designs the parking and instrument lights — so worn, flickering, or dead switch contacts can be replaced to get the lights working again. It's a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of postwar Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC cars and trucks, including the 1954-1958 Buick Century, 1950-1958 Buick Roadmaster, 1950-1954 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1953-1955 Chevrolet Corvette, 1950-1955 Chevrolet Truck, and the 1951-1955 GMC 100 — plus many more. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
If a failed headlight switch is the cause of your lighting trouble, this unit replaces it. Always diagnose the circuit first, as wiring, grounds, or bulbs can produce similar symptoms.
