I guess it's kinda like a swivil switch for the dash and interior illuminating... and a switch for the high/low beam headlights...

A Firebird healight switch is a rocker switch, with the top part divided in 2 sections: the headlights and parking lights. Parking lights can be turned on by themselves, but the headlight switch will push the parking light switch on. I wish I had a pic to show you guys....

Looks a little like this (crappy pic,, I know),,



I don't see why, with a little work/ingenuity, one couldn't graft this into a camaro (minus the trim parts granted).
