1955 headlight switch
Hey, I need a [working] headlight switch for my 1955 ninety-eight. Anyone have one they could part with or know where I could find one?

If your headlight switch is like the one on my 64 98 it pulls out to turn on the headlights and the brights are controlled by a foot toggle. You could concievably get a generic pull out switch from Radio Shack and mount it behind the dash. Then you take the knob off of the switch you have now and put it on the new switch. Of course, this is only if you have a pull type headlight switch.

The headlight switch also has a reostat that controls the dash lights. Olds64, I think your idea would be a good temporary fix. Neg will probably have better luck getting the pull type switch at an auto parts store or Tractor Supply.

I do have a temporary fix right now, but thanks for the suggestion. I'd really just like a working one from a 1955 olds.

If you still have yours in the car, take the switch out and try cleaning the contacts. I am unfamiliar with a '55 setup, but either my '57 or '59 had a fuse in back of the headlight switch assembly.

If your still looking, i bet my brother who passed away has one. If another member reads this and shows me a picture. I'm 95% positive he has one. he didnt throw away anything and parted out at least a 55 and a 54 olds. he's got all kinds of 55 olds parts that i have no clue what they are. charles chip8@msn.com
