Default Headlight Switch
Does anyone know a way to turn the tail lights on without the headlight switch??

Mine isn't working properly and I have a new one on the way but i'd like to still be able to drive the car at night while I'm waiting for it to arrive.

Theres a post that explains how to repair your own headlight switch for FREE! See if you can do a search for that.

Give it a good squirt of this stuff inside the switch

Its been known to work in the past. Worth a try

Here's a couple of the threads as BC mentioned. If you don't repair yourself, at least they will help with removal of the switch.
