HD headlight switch???
I thought there was a HD headlight switch that was suggested???
I could have swore that I saw it at Bronco Graveyard but now I can't find it. . .I think I need to replace my headlight switch and would like to upgrade at the same time. . .
Thanks,

I don't know about a HD switch, but you could always replace it with a standard switch and use a relay kit (or make your own) to turn the head lights on. It takes the load off of the switch to prevent future problems.

All the dealers use the same website, but can customize it to their liking.
Ed does not have the switch, but can get it within a day, maybe quicker.
The local Ford Motorcraft jobber is 26 miles away from Bremerton, and has 7 switches available.
I can access the in-house Ford dealer parts locator system site, but not the dealers website.
Usually at this time of night, it's down for maintanance.
EDIT: I went to a car forum where Ed's a sponsor, clicked on his link...nothing happens.

Edit you can actually click on it in this post and get his site to come up.
26 miles away that must be in Tacoma then?

Santa Catalina...the island of...romance....romance....romance....romance." -The Four Preps.
Sorry...I couldn't resist.
And it's 26 miles from San Pedro/Long Beach, much further from Newport Beach. The tourist boats run to Catalina from these two locations.
Ed's site is back up, and the jobber is SE of Bremerton in Auburn.

And the cars.
After 1966, there are two flashers on cars/trucks. The light duty type for the turn signals, the H/D type was used for the emergency flashers.
On Camper and Trailer Specials, or cars/trucks with a tow package, the H/D flasher is used for both.
Ford recommended using the H/D flasher for the turn signals for people that were hard of hearing, for this reason...
The H/D flasher is a plus because it's louder, so there's a less likely chance on goin' down the road with the signal left on.
Most dealers I worked for only sold the H/D flasher for all applications...it was within pennies of the price of t'other one, so money didn't enter into the equation.
It was just a better choice.
D1FZ13350A... H/D Turn Signal Flasher / Industry Number: SF552B
btw: Emergency flashers became standard equipment beginning in 1967, before that date, it was an option.
On some pre 1972 vehicles, the emergency flasher switch is mounted INSIDE the glove box!
On some vehicles...you need ape arms to reach the damn thing from the drivers seat.
