It will take some effort to git to it and you can clean it out with some contact cleaner. Had to do this fer a friend's T-100. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> 1998 T-100 Xtra cab SR5 2WD Auto; Roadmaster Active Suspension; Yokohama Geolander HT-S; lowered air dam; full belly pan; 4? diffuser; 11" side skirts; dual transmission coolers; 67% grill blocked; Auto-RX'd; ScanGauge II/Ultra-Gauge Re: headlights - high beams not always working [Re: BamZipPow] #942754 05/01/09 12:31 PM Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 179 maryland TomPoh OP Wheeler thanks for the info. 95 T100 SR5 Xcab 4X4 Re: headlights - high beams not always working [Re: TomPoh] #942755 05/01/09 04:13 PM Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 476 League City, TX B BamZipPow Mudrunner Looking up the part on ToyoDIY.com and cross referencing the price on ToyotaPartSales.com... 8414035100 $53.67 $0.00 $40.34 Electrical - Chassis electrical - Switches - Headlamp dimmer switch Headlamp dimmer switch, t100 1995 - 1998 So probably about $53 or so shipped. If you go this route, you'll have to be careful when you remove the pins from the connector and making sure you keep the same wires in the same spots. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> 1998 T-100 Xtra cab SR5 2WD Auto; Roadmaster Active Suspension; Yokohama Geolander HT-S; lowered air dam; full belly pan; 4? diffuser; 11" side skirts; dual transmission coolers; 67% grill blocked; Auto-RX'd; ScanGauge II/Ultra-Gauge Re: headlights - high beams not always working [Re: TomPoh] #942756 05/01/09 04:17 PM Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 676 Oregon garym Rock Warrior If you want ot go the cheap route they still sell the old foot switches at most parts stores.
