Product Details and Specifications

The DS-298 headlight switch from Standard Ignition features a direct snap fit attachment method, allowing for straightforward replacement without additional hardware. Its black plastic finish is designed to withstand typical automotive conditions while maintaining a clean appearance. The switch includes six male blade terminals arranged in a rectangular configuration, supporting a 12-volt electrical system common in most vehicles. This headlight switch does not come with a connector, so it is intended to mate directly with the vehicle's existing wiring harness. It is compatible with Chevrolet Astro, GMC Safari, Oldsmobile Bravada, and several other models including the Chevrolet S10, S10 Blazer, S15, S15 Jimmy, GMC Jimmy, and Sonoma.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the DS-298 headlight switch requires removal of the dashboard panel to access the original switch. The direct snap fit design allows the switch to be installed without additional fasteners. Ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected before installation to prevent electrical shorts. Verify the terminal orientation matches the vehicle wiring harness for proper connection. No connector is included, so the existing harness connector must be compatible with the rectangular terminal layout.
