Take charge of your dashboard lighting controls with the Standard Ignition Headlight Switch DS-613. This 12-volt switch operates the headlight circuit and installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1993 Ford Thunderbird (All engines) and 1989-1993 Mercury Cougar (All engines).
The headlight switch sends power to the exterior lighting circuit when you turn the knob or lever. Over time the internal contacts can wear, so if you notice headlights that flicker, won't turn on, or cut in and out — and a failed switch is the cause — the DS-613 replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
