Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition CBS-1606 is a headlight dimmer switch and combination switch assembly for Subaru Legacy applications that require Variable Intermittent Wipers. It integrates main light operation, headlights, high beams, turn signal control, windshield washer spray, windshield wiper delay settings, windshield wiper speed settings, and rear window washer spray into one replacement switch. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 83161AC060, DL7006) for the same application. Standard Ignition CBS-1606 is a practical choice when the original switch shows wear in the lighting or wiper controls on a Subaru Legacy.

What It Helps Fix

  • Intermittent or non-functioning headlight dimmer operation
  • High beam switch issues or inconsistent flash-to-pass function
  • Turn signal control problems at the steering column switch
  • Windshield wiper delay or speed selection faults
  • Washer spray control issues for front or rear operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle equipment before installation. This switch uses a bolt-on attachment method and a rectangular connector layout with female and male terminals. Confirm the vehicle is a 1998-1999 Subaru Legacy equipped with Variable Intermittent Wipers before ordering CBS-1606. Transfer any required vehicle-specific components during replacement if applicable to your repair procedure.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies this new replacement switch as a direct-fit electrical component for the listed Subaru Legacy applications. The CBS-1606 is built to match the original function set and connector configuration for service replacement use.
