Headlight Switch Question

Is It Possible To Turn On The Headlights Using a Latching Push Button Switch Instead Of The Stock Switch On a 69 c10?

Doing a Custom Buils With Dakota Digital Gauges. Just Wondering How The High Beam Would Work

Thanks

You should be able to do it with a relay and use the stock dimmer switch. Just have the latching push button energize the relay to power the dimmer switch, that way you would have minimal draw through the latching push button.

I would also use a headlight relay conversion and use the stock dimmer switch to power that. Doing it that way would require two separate circuits but you could use the stock dimmer switch and have brighter lights.

You can buy the headlight relay kit:

Or make your own:

You would have to make up the wiring for the latching switch relay but that would be pretty easy.
