What is the Headlight Switch all about?

The headlamp switch allows you to turn on the lights. If the switch does not work, you will not be able to turn on the lights. Not only is it unsafe to drive the car without proper lights, but it is also illegal.

Keep in mind:

The switch may only be available at the dealer. YourMechanic will find the cost and availability from a local dealer.
Your vehicle may have a combination switch, which combines the headlight switch and turn signal switch in one assembly.

How it's done:

Inspect the switch.
Test the fuses.
Remove and replace the switch if found faulty.
Check operation of all vehicle lighting.

Our recommendation:

A mechanic should inspect all the lights in the car during every major service event. If the lights do not come on, the mechanic should inspect the fuse, wiring, and connectors. It is common for the lens to get dirty and not allow enough light to shine through. You should keep the headlamp lens clean and free of oxidation. Mechanics can use a special lens oxidation restorer kit to clean the headlights.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Headlight Switch?

Headlamps do not turn on.
Running lights do not turn on.
Not able to select or deselect high beam operation.

How important is this service?

The headlight switch allows you to turn on and off your headlights. When you press the button or pull the lever (depending on your vehicle) to turn on your headlights, the headlight switch is responsible for triggering the lights. A broken headlight switch means that you won’t be able to turn on your headlights. Driving without headlights is a hazard to you, your passengers, and your surroundings, and it can also result in an expensive ticket.

BMW 530i L6-3.0L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front, Rear) - Austin, Texas

I had originally contacted YourMechanic.com because the iDrive system in my BMW 530i was notifying me that I needed to replace my front brake pads. I call the dealership and they wanted $550. Then I received and email from Amazon Local for the same job through YourMechanic.com for $90, so I opted for the less expensive route. David was sent to my apartment complex. After a quick meet and greet, David got to work.David was exceptional and honest. He properly diagnosed the problem with my BMW that, as it turned out, iDrive had mis-reported. It was the brake pad wear sensors and not the brake pads or even the rotors them selves! David fixed the issue quickly and competently. I did not find out until after that David was Audi, BMW and VW trained and certified! That just makes him all the more awesome! To sum up: David blew me away with his hoensty, professionalism, and work ethic and that is why I will come back to YourMechanic.com for my future repair and service needs!

BMW 530i L6-3.0L - Brake Rotor/Disc Replacement (Front) - Iselin, New Jersey

He is absolutely incredible! Tomas is the BEST when it comes to BMWs, he knows his stuff! My other mechanic tried to help me track down why my car was clunking, made me replace the strut mounts that weren’t even bad... almost $400 later, Tomas said my issue was the control arm bushing has play to it. He was right I saw it, gonna buy all 4 control arms and have him fix them. He just did my front brakes and rotors and saved me almost $300!
