Is the dimmer part of the headlight switch getting worn out? I assume it is a potentiometer, that dims and brightens the dash lights. Thanks

You turn it all the way up and its dim. If you play with it it will finally get all the way bright and you hit a bump and they go out completely. Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

Yeah, somtimes they just go out completely when I am adjusting the dimmer. Probably just need to get a new switch. The only place I have been able to find a new one is Atlas Obsolete Parts, and one has to buy the high/low beam floor switch with the headlight switch and they want $68 bucks for the pair. Does anyone else know where to get one for the 67 "B" bodies? Yearone only has them for the "A" bodies. Thanks everyone for your input!! 6500410-Picture007(Large).jpg (64 downloads) Last edited by moparmoondog; 02/27/11 09:57 PM.
