Product Details

This Standard Ignition DS-1382 headlight switch is designed for vehicles equipped with automatic headlights and, on listed applications, without fog lights. It is a practical replacement for worn or failing dash-mounted lighting controls in Ford Taurus, Ford Excursion, and Mercury Sable models.
