Standard Ignition Headlight Switch P/N:DS-448
Standard Motor Products
Switch your headlights on and off at your command with the Standard Ignition Headlight Switch DS-210, a replacement switch built with copper alloy conductors and tested for both mechanical and electrical switching performance. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1980-1986 Ford Mustang, 1983-1986 Ford Ranger and 1989-1993 Ford Thunderbird. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
The headlight switch is the driver's control for the headlight circuit, turning the headlamps on and off when operated. Signs this part may need replacing include headlights that won't turn on or off, lights that flicker or cut out, or a switch that sticks or feels loose. Bulbs, fuses or wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a failed headlight switch is the cause, the DS-210 replaces it.
