I would price one at your parts house as that it might help you decide live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

In fact I might buy 2 just in case I ever needed another one. Be careful if running helogens through older switches, it can cause them to overheat on high beams after an extended period.

Too late since you already ordered it...but it's good to check on Amazon too. The standard one there is $4.75 plus 5 to ship. http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Motor-Pro...keywords=ds165t

I had got an Edelbrock branded/AFB carb kit for like $20 or so since the box was a little squished. Didn't bother the gaskets of course. And have got deals on other various stuff like that too. I have prime too, so most stuff is free 2 day shipping, but in some cases, like with the headlamp switch some sellers, even with shipping added in are cheaper.

On orders over $35, their shipping is usually free and that can save a lot. RockAuto has good prices and good products, but it's their shipping that often kills the deal for me.
