3 switch Headlight switch

[DWagg]

Hi All, My HMMWV is missing the headlight switch, the wiring and connector there but I guess someone needed to "borrow" it.
Is this the correct one? If so is this a good place to buy from or?

Yep

That's a reasonable price.

It's not NOS...I'm finding the cheap ones are Chinese mfg..or someone else. I could be wrong, wait till you get it..they won't have the MS number on them...they are bare of any mfg markings.

There are several reproductions floating around that are plastic. They don't seem nowhere near as robust as the true military ones but I have used them and they seem to hold up ok.

Agree, look for NOS and avoid new push button switch.

Thanks for the info guys.
I'll go ahead and order one. For the price it's ok with me if it's a knock off.
Also a clarification, nobody stole mine, the HMMWV I bought off govplanet is missing this switch.
I'll sure be glad when I get it home this wait time to get the "release papers" is killing me lol.
I'm already eye balling those 5 ton 6x6's they always seem to have just up the road from me in Kansas. I don't know what I'd actually do with one of those but I just want one. Ugh, the struggle is real ya'll! HahHa!

As I said above the repo switches are made of plastic but seem to work ok. Just don't be too rough with the levers as they will strip out on the stud.

Make sure the rear electrical connector spanner nut is good and tight, can't say how many intermittent problems I've had with my GP's until I torqued it down.
