Headlight Switch

The Painless Wiring Headlight Switch (model 80151) is a pull-type headlight control designed for custom automotive wiring projects and vehicle restorations. This component serves as the central control point for your vehicle's headlight system, making it essential for builders who are upgrading or replacing factory electrical harnesses. Whether you're fabricating a custom hot rod, restoring a classic car, or modernizing an older vehicle's lighting circuit, a quality headlight switch is fundamental to reliable operation and safety on the road.

Painless Wiring engineered this switch with the specific demands of custom installations in mind, providing a straightforward pull-to-activate mechanism that integrates cleanly into aftermarket wiring harnesses. The compact footprint—measuring 4.65 x 1.75 x 7.45 inches and weighing only 0.42 lbs—makes it easy to mount under the dash or in other tight spaces common in modified vehicles. This switch handles the switching load for standard headlight circuits, enabling smooth control of low and high beam functions without the complexity of factory-integrated lighting modules that often prove incompatible with custom builds.

Mechanics and fabricators favor Painless Wiring components for their reliability in non-OEM applications where standardized solutions are preferred over proprietary systems. This headlight switch pairs seamlessly with Painless Wiring's complete harness kits and integrates with universal dash panel installations. Installation requires basic electrical knowledge and standard hand tools; the switch mounts via simple bracket hardware and connects to your lighting circuit through properly gauged wiring. Ideal for street rods, classic car restorations, custom trucks, and any project vehicle where you need straightforward, dependable headlight control without factory electronics.
