It is the control the driver uses to turn the headlights on and off, opening and closing the electrical path to the headlight circuit.

What are signs a headlight switch may need replacing?

Headlights that won't turn on, work only intermittently, or flicker can be signs of a worn switch. Bulbs, fuses or wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.

Is the DS-186 tested?

Yes. Standard Ignition 100% tests its switches to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.

What type of conductors does the DS-186 use?

It uses copper alloy conductors, which Standard Ignition specifies for superior electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
