  • Combination switch with lighting controls and turn signal control

Detailed Product Overview

Standard Ignition CBS-1171 is a headlight dimmer switch designed for Acura CL and Acura TL applications where the original column switch controls exterior lighting and directional signaling. This CBS-1171 switch supports main lighting operation, high-beam selection, and turn signal functions in a single unit, making it a practical replacement for worn or intermittent steering-column controls. This part cross-references Dorman (e.g., SW3371) for the same application.

Use CBS-1171 when the original switch shows signs of electrical wear, broken detents, or inconsistent beam selection. The rectangular female connector, blade terminals, and bolt-on mounting layout are intended to match the factory-style connection points on the listed Acura vehicles. Standard Ignition CBS-1171 is a direct-fit electrical replacement for 2001-2003 Acura CL and 2000-2003 Acura TL models.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

  • Headlights that do not switch correctly between low beam and high beam
  • Turn signal operation that becomes inconsistent at the steering column
  • Dimmer lever that feels loose, sticky, or fails to latch
  • Intermittent lighting control caused by internal switch wear
  • Indicator markings that are faded or difficult to read

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and switch functions before installation. This unit uses a plug-in electrical connection and bolt-on attachment method, so the original switch should be removed carefully to avoid damage to the steering-column trim or wiring. Confirm that the vehicle is equipped with the same lighting-control layout before ordering. Fits 2001-2003 Acura CL and 2000-2003 Acura TL, with the listed column switch configuration.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies this CBS-1171 switch as a new replacement part built for the specified Acura applications. It is designed to restore factory-style lighting and turn signal control on compatible Acura CL and Acura TL models.
