Source for new headlight switch

[Mark Schue]

I'm looking for a source for a NEW headlight switch. I tried Andy Russell and he did not have any and could not get one.

Help! Mine burned yesterday morning.

Have you tried Chloe at MidwestZ yet?

If Andy doesn't have one, and Chloe can't get one... hmm, that ain't good.... cuz they should be able to get anything any of the other suppliers can get... MSA might be a long shot, since they might have a larger inventory and have on lying around.....

[Mark Schue]

I'll try Mid-West Z and MSA tomorrow.

You could shoot Chloe a PM now and get an answer even sooner... her username is: mwz

Oh, BTW, it rained cats and dogs all day then they turned into frozen poodles... I'll get out to check the parts car tomorrow... it's supposed to be rain and snow free for a day....:cross-eye

[Mark Schue]

Good idea. Just sent her a PM.

No huge hurry on the cover. I've got to get the lights working before I worry about cosmetics.

Frozen puddles and snow? Guess I should stop complaining of day after day of rain.....

Thanks again for all your help. I've had my Z for about 2 months now and this board has been a big help!

Saw a couple on E-bay just this week.

Enrique, I could only find USED ones on e-bay. If you saw NEW ones could you post the links?

Why noy just bypass the light connection totally with some toggle switches? You could even use lighted switches. I'm sure that way, they wouldn't get hot because they handle much more cirrent.

You only need three wires, any way. I was considering doing this myself- moving them to the center somplace.

[EScanlon]

Sorry you're right they were used.

AFAIK, the only source for NEW parts ~might~ be Chloe or Motorsports. Not sure if V/B would have them. You might also give Troy at Too Intense Restoration a holler. Get ready for sticker shock though.

Good Luck

Neither Chloe or Andy had one nor could find one. I'm going to try MSA and VB next. Then onto Too Intense.

Please keep the leads for NEW switches coming!

I got used one that I hope will work and get me by. I want to keep the car original and avoid putting in toggle switches or splicing in later model switch.

Happy Holidays to you all!

Just got out the 2003 Fall VB catalog. The list switches for 70 & 71. But no 72....or 73 (not that it would help).

[2ManyZs]

MSA has them listed in their last catalog, but that doesn't mean they still have them available....Looked in their online catalog and all I see for electrical is their replacement fuse boxes....

72 headlight switch

Part number 45-4053... $97.80
