My 72 has the button on the floor, and my moms 92 explorer has the lever on the steering column, and i miss my floor button when I drive it. Which is your preferance to turn on your bright lights/high beams?

All my vehicles have floor mounted switches..but I did like having the column mounted switch in my '86 Mustang. The column mounted switch is a little easier to access I think, especially in dark.
I heard they were going to start putting the dimmer switch back on the floor because some older blondes were having a hard time with getting their feet up to the steering column to dim the lights.
There are darn few features about the old cars and trucks that I like, but give me that floor button any day! Even with a stick shift, it still gives my left foot something to do.
Hmm....the -2 has the column, the 91 the floor, 91 is my first floor button.....first one i seen was in my roomates 89 bronco...my stang might have it....but it is in a shed i have not touched in a year and a half.

Course am the old codger here, but I love the old floor dimmers, like that is on my 79 Ford. The foot dimmer is what I grew up with on the 60'-70's cars and trucks. In my opinion, the steering turn /signal/ dimmer switch , has two setbacks. It makes the driver have to take their left hand off the wheel, at the worse time, that being just as a car is passing you head on, and if your a lefty, hmmm) and, ALL of the electro-mechanical devices turn, dimmer, cruise, are all gommmed up in that one itty bitty, controller, and that is ASKING for service problems.,
