headlight knob
hey guys,
just curious..... my truck has a black headlight knob, and a black wiper knob. all the other knobs and cigg lighter are chrome..the black knobs have the same shape, just different color im looking to get a new headlight switch, and the switches i see online with chrome knob looks different from the other knobs... is that the correct knob with teeth around outside?

Re: headlight knob
So does the Car & Truck Shop. I buy from them because they're relatively local to me. BUT I've read several guys have bad things to say about their customer service if you order.

Re: headlight knob
Came with matching knobs from the factory. Can't speak for other suppliers but the one I bought from C & T Shop came with a chrome knob matching my others.

Re: headlight knob
Standard knob finish was black. GMC was white. Chrome came with deluxe package for Chevy and GMC. A lot of places sell the correct chrome knob and shaft for guys wanting to upgrade from black. Get the correct switch, not a universal, so it will be plug and play with aftermarket and factory wiring harnesses.
