Detailed Description

The DS-76 is a headlight dimmer switch engineered for service replacement in 1983-1987 Dodge Charger applications. Its robust construction and copper alloy conductor design help maintain stable signal transfer through the headlight switching circuit, while the bolt-on mounting style supports a secure installation.
