What is the Headlamp Dimmer Switch all about?

The headlamp dimmer switch may be part of the turn signal switch or it can be mounted on the floor. This switch enables you to dim the headlamp beam from low to high or vice versa. A bad switch will not change the headlamp beam. Your headlamps being stuck on high beams can create a dangerous situation for oncoming drivers.

Keep in mind:

  • In many vehicles, the dimmer switch is part of a multi-switch that also controls the windshield wipers, turn signals, and cruise control. *Replacing this multi-switch means all of those components will need to be re-wired.

How it's done:

  • Inspect the switch.
  • Remove and replace the faulty switch.
  • Check operation of the headlamps and verify the high/low beam switching.

Our recommendation:

It should be noticeable when your headlamp dimmer switch stops working. If you find that your vehicle is unable to alternate between high and low beams, then you should schedule a service.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Headlamp Dimmer Switch?

  • Lights will not change between high and low beams. They will be stuck on one or the other.
  • Headlamps will not stay on high-beam setting.

How important is this service?

The headlamp dimmer switch allows you to select between your headlamp's high and low beams. When you pull the lever on your steering wheel column, the dimmer switch triggers the high beams, and either turns them on or turns them off. When the headlamp dimmer switch malfunctions, your headlights won’t be able to switch between high and low. You’ll either be stuck with only low beams, which can mean poor visibility, or you’ll be stuck with only high beams, which is hazardous to the drivers around you.

Kia Sorento L4-2.4L - Alternator Repair - Quincy, Massachusetts
Pierre is professional, Knowledgeable, and personable. He is detail-oriented and very thorough in his work. One can tell he takes pride in the work he performs. More importantly he takes time to explain everything in detail and in a way anyone can understand. He explains exactly what he is doing and why. Pierre came out to replace the alternator and serpentine belt on my 2012 kia sorento. He was unable to complete the job during the first visit due to the location of the alternator, which in most cases, involves putting the vehicle up on a lift, jacking up the engine, and lowering the subframe (generally means taking the car to a repair shop). However, Pierre returned two days later, determined and undaunted by the difficulty of the job. The work was completed without the availability of a car lift, the ability to lower the subframe, or the comforts of a repair shop. What he accomplished without the items listed above is simply amazing. He made an almost impossible job possible. I Cannot express my level of gratitude and how appreciative I am nearly enough!
