Hi,


Replacing the headlamp switch on the truck is simple. The hard part is getting to it. Regardless, if you take your time, you'll be fine.

Here is a link you may find of interest. It discusses in general how the headlamp switch works.

If you look at the attachments below, they provide the directions specific to your vehicle for the replacement of the switch.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
