    Hi Members I am looking for a headlight switch knob and the chrome plastic nut that holds the switch to the dash. I have found several on ebay in the last month, but keep getting sniped. I am putting together a driver, and am not looking for show quality, just decent looking chrome. Thanx

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that it's for a 71 'lark. Thanx again.

    Where are you located? I will look to see if I have one from the extra bezels that I have.

    I looked in my "extra box" and only found a retaining nut, the control rod , and the grounding plate.

    I must have already done something with the switch.

    Thanks Michael, My switch works, but the chrome is gone from my retaining nut and knob (control rod?) One of the previous owners of the car removed ALL the chrome from the dash, all retainers, knobs, even the bezel itself. Unless I find a bezel with good chrome at a reasonable price, I'm going to leave the all black on in. The car is black and it won't look bad. I have already found a lighter and wiper switch with good chrome and all I need is the light knob and retainer. I am also looking for a column sift knob with good chrome.

    I can rechrome one of mine, restore it and mail it to you for something like $280.00
