Who can tell me where it is and how to get to it. I need to replace mine and the new one looks like it mounts to the steering column by the way the mounting bracket attached to it is bent. I bought it becasue they were cheap and my lights went off when I switched from high beam to low beam after being on high for about a half hour straight. I had the diode installed to run all four lamps on high beam with no relay and thought it should be the switch since they failed when I fliped it. Is there a circuit breaker for headlights and if so, where is it? The next thing I would suspect is the headlight switch as I understand they are a weak link too. Any ideas would be appreciated. Once I get them working again I am going to install a relays to run them directly from the battery. I hot wired the low beams directly to the battery to get home and noticed they were much brighter.

The switch is mounted to the column and activated by a rod thats connected to the Multi function handle (turn signal lever)

Lower the column down and you will find the little critter.

Not a bad job but can be tedious.
