I'm on my third aftermarket headlight switch. I'm hoping I can find an NOS one. I have a 1967 Cutlass Supreme. Any help is appreciated.

Hey Tim
FYI, the headlight switch is a part# 1995147 and shows to be used from 1964-1973. I have a box of good OE switches, but if you want NOS GOOGLE THAT PART# and you’ll see Olds Obsolete has one for $95

Thanks for the help. I think that application is suspect. 67 is the last year where the parking lights go off when the headlights are on. I seem to remember something about an extra terminal on 68 and newer. I'll look for this part number and see if I can find one. Thanks again.

More info
odd findings in the 1967 PIM (aka assembly manual) is the # I listed. But in the 72 parts manual it shows
F-85
64-67 1995179
68. 1995159
69-72 1995154

But in the 1979 P&A manual
64-67 1995203
68. 1995195
69-72.1995199
73-75 1995203

WOW
that isn’t confusing

but visually they all appear to be the same. I have had 65-77’s and externally they are “virtually” the same. Small manufacturing differences exist I am sure. But you figure, why change something that works

Yeah, when it gets into options on pre 68 that’s where I have to look it up, but by the 72 P & A it doesn’t show any delay-off switches till 1970- up
Ut do your own research, if you are an owner of them when new, I would believe that before any printed materials. Meaning anything’s possible !

That would make sense, since '68 was the first year for federally mandated side marker lights, which would come on with the parking lights and stay on with the headlights.

Good info Bob, makes more sense then why the part numbers show super-ceded back to 64 in the later P&A ‘s
cool

thanks
