I did loose my headlights last year one evening... not a big problem once I got home... the dimmer switch on the floor shorted out and I had to replace it... Weird but the dimmer switch sold for under 20 bucks...compared to 130-180 for the little toggle headlight rotation switch ..?????...

When I asked why I was told GM used the same dimmer switch in every one of their vehicles but only The Corvette used the rotation switch... simple supply side economics... LOL

The headlight rotation switch is a real rip-off. While the unit was only used in the Corvette, the switch itself, if I remember right, was used in many models of '60s GM cars as a POWER WINDOW SWITCH and can be found in junk yards and other places.

You take the unit apart, pull the switch out, and replace it.

Most of them are just bad contacts anyway, and can be repaired. A few literally fall apart because the insulator material the pins go through breaks up from heat and age. A crafts person can just cut new material from boards from Radio Shack or other electronics parts supply stores and rebuilt it.

For the $100 - $200 many get for these, if you have an old one, it is well worth the hassle.
