Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition CBS-1255 is a headlight dimmer switch for Acura MDX applications from 2003 through 2006. It is built with a single rectangular female connector and blade terminals for a direct electrical interface, and it mounts with a bolt-on design. This switch includes the main light operator, running light operator, turn signal control, latching high beam operator, momentary high beam flasher, and indicator markings for factory-style lighting control.

This part cross-references Dorman (e.g., SW4255) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Headlights that do not switch between low beam and high beam correctly
  • Intermittent or inoperative turn signal control at the column switch
  • Running lights that fail to respond when the switch is moved
  • High beam flash function that does not engage consistently
  • Worn or damaged lighting controls on a 2003-2006 Acura MDX

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle year before installation. This CBS-1255 uses a bolt-on attachment method and a single female connector, so matching the original switch layout is important for proper operation. Confirm all lighting functions after installation, including low beam, high beam, flash-to-pass, running lights, and turn signal operation.
