Regain confident control of your headlights and parking lamps with the Standard Ignition Headlight Switch (HLS1710) — a driver-operated switch that opens and closes the lighting circuits when you turn the knob. It installs as a direct-fit OE replacement on the 1995 BMW 740I, 1995-2001 BMW 740IL, 1995-2001 BMW 750IL, 1997-2000 BMW 528I, 1997-2001 BMW 740I, 1997-2002 BMW 540I, 2000-2002 BMW M5, 2000-2003 BMW Z8, 2001-2002 BMW 525I and 2001-2002 BMW 530I, restoring proper fit, form and function for the original faulty switch.
If a worn or failed headlight switch is the cause of lights that won't turn on, cut out intermittently, or a knob that no longer clicks through its positions, this replaces it. Diagnose the circuit before ordering so you replace the right component. Country of origin: Germany.
