    CJ headlight switch

    CJ's have the pull out style switches right? Three positions, off/park lights/headlights? Do they also twist for a dimmer switch and have an interior light on at the end of the dimmer twist?

    there is a nut that holds it there. you slip the switch in from the back and spin the nut on from the front, trim the shaft to the correct length for your knob and then add the knob, the knut thing also holds on the beauty ring that is on the switch. i may have an extra one in about 2 weeks cause i'm getting 2 dash boards

    I used an XJ one that I found at the junkyard. O'Riellys has a book - Hearse Coarse or something that has some great switches like this that are much simpler.
