Need Headlight Switch for Roadster

[Wizbangdoodle]

Got a little careless with mine and broke it. Need headlight switch for my Roadster. FFR is out of stock. Does anyone have one they'll sell me or know where I can source one from? Thanks.

I believe they are just a GM style switch

Yup. The headlight switch from FFR is in my experience a knock-off ACDelco D1588. I've found the genuine Delco branded switch (available from the Amazon link plus elsewhere) is a little better quality. I proactively replace the switch with this one in my builds. The only thing is it doesn't usually come with the knob and shaft. Use that from the FFR switch.

2nd on EdwardB's comment... It is/was an AC Delco unit, used in thousands of GM vehicles for decades. A couple of more tips though...
They are available at any good, local auto parts store - but caviat emptor. All the parts houses have 2 or 3 grades/levels of parts. Purchase a genuine AC Delco part, or a GOOD quality replacement from a reputable aftermarket supplier (such as Standard). A genuine or good quality switch will cost you around $40.

Thanks guys, the forum never fails.

Was looking over my broken switch and was surprised there were zero markings on this switch. I'm going to assume that is because it is a cheap, Chinese made unit.

Thanks for the link Higgy, I'll be ordering one of these, hoping it's of better quality.
