Headlight Switch

Gents it's time to replace the headlight switch in our '73 F250.

Question I have is the Motorcraft SW-1245 the correct switch? I'm getting conflicting information and want to be sure before I order something I might not be able to return.

Thanks!

Rock Auto agrees. Motorcraft SW-1245. Part numbers #D3ZB11A685AA, D3ZZ11654A
Standard Motor Products DS188T or DS188 up to serial # C25,000

D3ZZ-11654-A (replaced C5TZ-11654 A & B & C; C5DZ-11654-A; C8UZ-11654-A and etc) .. Headlamp Switch KIT (Motorcraft SW-1245) / Available from Ford.

1965/66 Falcon; 1965/72 F100/1100; 1966 Mustang; 1969/74 E100/300; 1971/72 Mustang; 1973/75 F100/350; 1973/77 F500/880; 1976 F100/350 before serial number C25,001; And etc.

Ford confusion: Despite the D3ZZ 1973 Mustang part number prefix, this switch was not used on 1973 Mustangs!
