68 headlight not raising
Hello, I am new to the site and have read some great threads on this subject. I recently bought a 68 and the headlights go on but don’t raise when I pull out the switch. They do go up when I pull the bypass. Wipers work using both the switch and bypass. Can I conclude the headlight switch is bad?
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

Before you remove the hoses mark their location or take a pic. It probably doesnt matter the position by why tempt fate

I have bought new headlight switches from Lectric Limited and Willcox. Had good luck with both BUT other vendors didnt seem to last too long.

Thanks for the reply. I read a lot of the posts that support dropping the column and the ground needed to run the courtesy lights. The checking bulbs while I’m in there is great advise. I also saw posts that indicated these headlight switches are long lasting. I already bought a ACDelco part #D6251D, GM#19106986 that I hope works for a long time.
