Keep headlight control in the driver's hands with the Standard Ignition Headlight Switch DS-290, a direct-fit replacement switch that controls power to the headlight circuit on the listed applications. It fits many Chevrolet and GMC trucks, among them the 1988-1991 Chevrolet C1500, 1988-1991 Chevrolet K1500 and 1990-1994 Chevrolet C60 Kodiak. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
If a worn headlight switch is behind flickering, intermittent or dead headlights, this switch replaces it. Standard Ignition focuses on both the electrical and mechanical side of the part:
- Copper alloy conductors: designed for strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- 100% tested: Standard Ignition tests its parts to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
- Quality control throughout: as a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products, Standard Ignition controls quality from componentry to the finished product.
- Robust build: a robust design and high-grade materials made for the demands of today's service professional.
The switch draws on decades of research and development focused on what technicians need. Before installing, disconnect the battery and follow the vehicle service information for removal and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Standard Ignition DS-290 headlight switch do?
It is the switch that controls power to the headlight circuit, letting the driver turn the headlights on and off.
Does the DS-290 fit a 1988-1991 Chevrolet C1500 or K1500?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1991 Chevrolet C1500 and K1500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of Chevrolet and GMC applications.
What are signs a headlight switch may need replacing?
Headlights that won't turn on, flicker or work only intermittently may be signs of a worn switch. Check the circuit first, since bulbs, fuses and wiring can cause the same symptoms.
Is this headlight switch tested before it ships?
Standard Ignition states that its parts are 100% tested to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
What are the conductors inside the switch made of?
The DS-290 uses copper alloy conductors, which are designed for strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
