    Faulty Headlight/Indicator Stalk Switch

    Hi, the headlight/indicator stalk switch assembly in my 88 CP is shot,I think. every time I flick the stalk down to indicate a turn the headlights go off ! This doesn't happen in high beam, but I cant keep driving in high beam. I live in Saudi so parts for a 1988 car are hard to come by. Can anyone tell me where to source this stalk switch assembly in the US so I can get a friend to buy it there?
    Thanks

      the turn signal switch or headlight dimmer switch is what you're looking for (depending on what parts site you're digging through).

      Part number is UDS432 at Autozone.
      us$41 lifetime warranty (though you'd have to return it to an Autozone to get it replaced).

      $50+ at Oreillyauto with a one year warranty... Napa has it for $42 with a one year warranty (part number MPE DL6201SB)

      That's about all I have in my area.

      From a dealer you're looking at ...
      Turn signal and hazard switch, all models 87-91 MSRP: $77.98 Price: $60.83
      Dealer prices may vary. I'm in Texas and dealers in other states/cities may have different prices.
