Thanks to the great resources on this forum I was able to replace a bad relay and get the pod lights working again. Now, the issue remaining is the switch does control the lights. Fortunately, they are on all the time. I would prefer not to try to open and clean the switch as others have commented it has numerous small pieces. Does anyone have a source for a replacement switch? I can live with the lights always on but would prefer to have an operable switch. Thanks again for all the great info on this board.

Try electrical connections. He may have a replacement.

Thanks, I emailed them this morning.

Electrical Connections responded they do not carry a replacement switch. Anyone have an alternative?
Thanks!

I don't think it's all that important what switch you use, as it is routed thru a relay. This is the switch mine has :

The only real consideration would be one that fits the hole in the pod. Or one that you don't need to enlarge very much.

Thanks, I will check that out.

You might try a GL1800 switch, not sure it will fit.

I would just take your current switch apart and clean it, I had to do that to mine and it worked out fine.

I may have a new OEM one.

What I did with mine is to install a master cylinder switch block then replaced one of the switches to allow the lights to track the low beam, stay on all the time or be off.

Search this board for details. I've described the required parts a couple of times.

Thanks everyone for the response. I wound up cleaning the switch and everything is working now.

I just cleaned the switch on mine, still can't get the fog lights to stay on.  I assume the relay is bad?  Where is it located and where do I fine a replacement?
