Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition DS-380 is a headlight switch engineered for 1988-1992 Pontiac LeMans vehicles. It is built around a robust switch body and high-grade materials to handle routine electrical cycling in the lighting circuit. The copper alloy conductor design supports stable current flow, while the direct, snap-fit attachment and rectangular male connector help match the original switch interface. If you are replacing a worn or intermittent Pontiac LeMans headlight switch, DS-380 provides a clean service solution with the correct 12-volt configuration and blade-terminal layout.

This part cross-references Standard Motor Products (e.g., LS109, SW176) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Headlights that do not turn on or off consistently
• Intermittent lighting control at the dash switch
• Electrical resistance caused by worn internal switch contacts
• Loose or unreliable connector engagement at the switch
• Switch failure in 1988-1992 Pontiac LeMans lighting circuits

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and attachment style before installation. This DS-380 uses a male rectangular connector with 7 male blade terminals and a direct, snap-fit mount, so the replacement should be matched to the original switch layout on the Pontiac LeMans. Confirm the vehicle is a 12-volt system and inspect the connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage or corrosion before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition tests this headlight switch for both mechanical action and electrical switching performance. The DS-380 is built with copper alloy conductors and service-grade materials to support dependable operation in daily repair use.
