My head light switch has started to let me down. After driving for a certain length of time with the lights on, they eventually turn off. I think this is caused from the switch heating up.
My question is, can I replace the '67 switch with that of a '69 Mustang head light switch ? Is it a straight swap ?
Appreciate the help....Greg.

Most of the '67 replacement switches can handle the extra lights.
(Yes the originals were not up to the task of the added lights - the grille lights are high-beams)
-
a friend recommended using one from a 1967 Cougar.

If you actually drive your vehicle there is a new plug and play relay that is easily hidden. No issue running halogen bulbs, they don't fluctuate and stay bright as a constant, even at idle. I bought them for my Shelby.

I replaced the 12 Amp standard Mustang switch with an 18 Amp for a 69 Mustang on my 67 Shelby.
Don't remember if I had to transfer the old bracket over to the new one.

Where can I buy the relay? Thanks Kent

The relay would be the last resort unless you added non factory high output lights. Just my opinion.

This is a no-hack kit. I agree with Bob if you really don't drive your vehicle. They don't fluctuate at idle and you can run any hadlamp with it. Easy to hide as well.

I had the flashing headlight problem. Put in a 67 Cougar headlight
switch, works well.

I don’t mean to hijack this thread ( I love the idea of purchasing a kit to improve our crappy headlight systems), but how often does this statement pop up for you west coast folks?

Brian, It's on EVERYTHING that is sold in Commiefornia. I noticed even all the gaskets I just bought from Felpro had the warning, as does the paint I use in modeling.

Does anyone have the part/eng number for the Cougar switch handy?
Thanks, Kurt.

The new switches aren't an issue. You can just purchase a BWD ( Borg-Warner) switch works fine without having to modify a cougar switch.
