g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Hello all Does anybody have a working headlight switch available please? My first trip out in the VR in the dark for a long time & the bloody headlight switch broke such that it wont turn the lights off. It was one of the repro ones from the group buy on here. Hence i had to disconnect the battery when i got home last night. thanks in advance EDIT: so, it seems it is not the switch that is broken. i have somehow cracked the housing into which the switch sits by the air vent. thus the switch pushes back when trying to turn the lights off Does anybody have a good condition housing section available please?

fendervg 33 Posted November 4, 2019 Available new for not too much from Heritage/Classic Parts - this will be a newly manufactured switch with filament, not LED bulb though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keyo 47 Posted November 4, 2019 Why Heritage do not have these in stock, really should be ready available in the Uk, ship 50 over from Germany please Heritage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 33 Posted November 5, 2019 You can still order via Heritage, but you would need to wait a couple of weeks - would do them no harm to keep a dozen in stock, they'd surely sell. I found the LED version much too bright as well, and actually took the orange light out of them to just leave green - the ring for the illumination brightness was much smoother though. It might be worth checking your wiring as these later switches should not fail that easily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted November 5, 2019 thanks all upon inspection today it seems the switch itself is not the offending item it looks like the housing it slots into has cracked & is allowing the right hand side of the switch to move such that the switch cant go to off position Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
