Standard Ignition Headlight Switch P/N:DS-883
Standard Motor Products
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 many vehicles, among them the 1968-1981 Cadillac Fleetwood, 1968-1993 Cadillac DeVille and 1987-1992 Cadillac Brougham. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and 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.
