WTB : Do we have any Brain surgeons in the club that can repair the rheostat part of the 914 Head light switch ? Last couple of switches I have bought do not have good adjustment. TOO dim then, off , then TOO bright. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) thanks and best regards

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) waste of time this function as the lamps are so weak anyway ,best solution is to add led's then the dimmer can be bypassed as above cause it won't work anyway. Don't think the switches can be repaired if they have that issue and who is brave enough to open one up....not me so I did when Bruce mentioned a while back. Cheers. |

I have wondered if one of the VW beetle/ghia/bus/thing headlight switches could be made to work as a substitute. Have not looked into it but we know the circuitry of the 914 switch as a place to start.
These are new switches that are not expensive and readily available. Attached image(s)
