How do you remove a headlight switch?
Pull the light switch into the on position, press the headlight case button and remove the switch. Using a screwdriver helps if your case has more than one release button. You may have to remove a nut at the bottom of the switch shaft to remove the decorative bezel.
Where is the headlight switch located?
Headlight controls are not located in the same place in each vehicle, but there are a few spots that are commonly used. Look for either a control panel or a control arm near the steering wheel. Some manufacturers place a separate headlight control panel just beneath the dashboard, just to the driver's left side.
How much does it cost to replace a headlight switch?
The average cost of replacing the headlight switch or the dimmer switch is in the range of $150-$250. Sometimes, accidents can damage the headlight and you are left with no option but to replace the entire assembly unit.
How do I know if my headlight switch is bad?
One of the most common symptoms of a faulty headlight switch is issues switching between headlight modes. If the headlight switch fails or wears out it can cause problems operating the headlights. A broken switch may only work on certain modes, or may cause them to come on and off intermittently and erratically.
