Detailed Product Overview

Dorman Part Number 76872 is engineered to replace a worn, cracked, or missing headlight switch knob without changing the original control layout. It is designed to match the fit and function of the factory knob on applications such as the Ford F-150, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Blackwood. This part number 76872 also cross-references TechSmart C01001 for the same application.

Use this headlight switch knob when the original control no longer grips properly, has broken at the attachment point, or no longer provides reliable headlamp switch operation. The black plastic finish helps maintain a consistent interior appearance on Ford F-150 Heritage, Ford Excursion, Ford Taurus, and Mercury Sable models where this style of knob is used.
