Headlight Switch Mod

Hey guys. I'm tired of having a pull **** for my headlights on my 92 RS and was thinking of switching (ha) to a 3 position toggle switch. I think 4th gen dashes already have one right, but has anyone just changed the ****? Any tricks involved. I think this would be a cool mod.

In my case I was actually thinking of putting the switch in the same location for a slightly more stock appearance. But, you might as well use those switches. I also just thought, if you want to keep the dash dimmer you could replace the headlight **** with a little rheostat (voltage adjustment dial) and put the headlight switch somewhere else. That'd workout good for you Kontrax and also look cool. Nolanr, why worry about customizing at all if it's not worth it? I also didn't see a purpose to your post....no offense.

I like the stock firebird roller switch thingy maybe you can put one of those in.

good idea for the dimmer. i really dont need it though, always have it cranked all the way up. i was also thinking of getting firebird switches... id rather use the few i have on my switch board. i started tearing the car apart today, so nice out i had to take advantage. im gonna snoop around and see if i can come up with anything
