Reference headlight switch for 1959 utility wagon: The one in the car resembles the one shown in figure 176 on page 143 of then 1954-61 service manual. None of the ones shown inn the on line catalogue seem to match. ??

The new headlight control switch (916357) I just bought does not seem to have a connection for the instrument panel lights? The OEM switch does -- as shown on your control switch guide. What am I missing? Thanks, Tom

I just bought this switch and I hooked it up on my 62 Truck. Maybe I read something wrong or having a blonde moment but when I pull the switch out the first pull the park lights turn on, and then on the second pull the headlights turn on but I lose the park lights? I have it hooked up per your guys Diagram on the webpage here. Used to work just fine with my old switch, old switch just wore out on the contacts when pulling it out and was tired of finding the “sweet spot” for the lights to work.

Do you have a correct wiring diagram for part #916357?

I have had the light switch for awhile. Unfortunately cannot find instructions. Are there wiring instructions or diagrams available?

Why does this not show for the 1950 model trucks? It's a match to the original light switch that was in my 1950 truck - and the 1950-51 master parts catalog shows it to be a match to this switch.
