Standard Ignition Headlight Switch P/N:DS-950
Take charge of your classic Cadillac's lighting with the Standard Ignition switch DS-186, a headlight switch that turns the headlights on and off at the driver's command. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1968-1993 Cadillac DeVille, 1968-1981 and 1985-1992 Cadillac Fleetwood, 1968-1976 Cadillac Calais, 1968-1991 Cadillac Commercial Chassis, 1968-1985 Cadillac Eldorado, 1976-1985 Cadillac Seville, and 1987-1992 Cadillac Brougham. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details on each application.
The headlight switch is the control the driver uses to operate the headlights. If a worn or failed switch is the cause of headlights that won't come on, cut out intermittently, or flicker, the DS-186 replaces it.
