Default Replaced headlight switch on '93 Dakota

Whew, got 'er done! Headlights started by coming on sometimes, then, just stopped totally. I checked out grounds, etc, thingamajig square plug in box connected to firewall under hood on driver's side, all good. Read that these switches go out, got new one for $24. Have to take off the a/c cover on dash to get switch out, then unplug switch and overdrive button. Not real easy, but doable! Good to have lights again, since me state inspection is this month!

Yeah, don't try to add fog or driving lamps without a relay. The headlamp switch has its hands full handling the OEM load. The multi-function switch on the steering column will set you back 14 bux if you need to replace it (knock on wood).
