Head Light Switch

'lo,

My instrument panel lights only come on in a few positions when rotating the Head light switch. I believe this is called the rheostat. The vehicle is a '77 f100. How should I go about replacing/repairing one these? I'm a bit hesitent in taking one out of a junk yard, in fear of getting anothe bad one. Can new ones be used? If so any certain kind?



Thanks.

The last time I checked you could still buy a new one from the parts store.

Pull your battery cable b4 you work on the switch.
