WTB 86 SE Headlight/Parking Lamps Switch with faceplate
« on: September 02, 2013, 07:01:22 pm »
Looks as if a plastic flange on the inside of my headlight switch broke off, so when I push the OFF button, the entire switch pushes inside the dashboard. I removed the faceplate and popped the switch back in, but can tell it won't be able to hold long.

If anyone has the switch, and the faceplate (4screws, the plate also covers the dashboard dimmer switch), pls PM me with a price.

Or, if anyone knows the best place to buy a good-quality new one, pls let me know. Maybe there's even an aftermarket one that fits the screw holes and looks cool?

Thanks,

FGTB

Fiero Store has the bezel and the switch.  The thumb wheel dimmer seldom goes bad, but if you need another I have several.   http://fierostore.com/Product/Detail.aspx?s=61294&d=259&p=2

Thanks, FF...  I noticed that the switches are available just about everywhere, but I will funnel my money to the Fiero Store to support a speciality retailer.

I will also order that steering wheel nut based on your suggestion that "the biggest thing wrong with my car is the nut that holds the steering wheel... "  ;- )

Yes, I think the switch is the same as used in the Firebirds and is available at auto parts stores but the bezel isn't available elsewhere.  Do you need the dimmer switch, too?  I can change them out for you at the meeting, if you want.

FF:

Sorry, I've been off-line for a few days...

I ordered the switch and faceplate from The Fiero Store. Should just "pop in," but I'll bring it along to the meeting if I have any problem getting it in.

Dimmer switch seems to work fine, thanks.
