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.

Mazda MX-5 Miata L4-2.0L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Los Angeles, California
Yahshif was very courteous, informative and easily accommodating. He performed a pre-purchase vehicle inspection for my used 08' Mazda Miata and gave some insightful recommended services and was extremely helpful when answering all of my questions. He arrived promptly on time, was very friendly and knows a great deal about cars! Would highly recommend booking him again for any car related matters.

Mazda MX-5 Miata L4-2.0L - Car is not starting - Boca Raton, Florida
Justin was prompt and professional. The issue reported was the car wouldn't start and I asked if maybe just a fuse would resolve the issue. He checked main fuses first and they were okay. Moved on to starter, which was fine. Eventually, came back to check the starter fuse (smaller one), and that was the culprit. Glad it was not complicated, but it could've been resolved within 5 minutes after he started had that fuse been checked at the beginning. All in all, it was a positive experience and will use this service again. Next time, both us will probably start with checking all fuses first!
