 Replacing headlight switchGonna try and get this done so I have guage lights again. Looks pretty plug and play but I was wondering can this be done quickly ie without removing the dash or do I have to reshedual this. Thanks.

Re: Replacing headlight switch If you can twist around while laying on your back and shoulders under the dash it can be done pretty quickly.
I did it recently and it was a bit challenging because I have sasquatch hands. Patience is your friend. _________________ 1977 Sport, 351w OBDII EFI motor, 4R70W auto, 4:88 gears, ARB lockers, 3.5" suspension, 33" tires. |

Re: Replacing headlight switch it helps if you can sit like this for 30-45 minutes or so....

Re: Replacing headlight switch This may be helpful. its the same as the bronco. worst part for me was the connector to the switch body. very stubborn!

Re: Replacing headlight switch Worst part for me was the little convex adapter that goes between the headlight switch and the back of the dash board which the bezel screws into.
Trying to coordinate that was a bitch. _________________ 1977 Sport, 351w OBDII EFI motor, 4R70W auto, 4:88 gears, ARB lockers, 3.5" suspension, 33" tires. |

Re: Replacing headlight switch Thanks for the responses... this is why I've been putting this off and using my turn signal to see how much fuel I have.
