Headlights out on the road! Help?

[pattypape]

Greg, that is the NAPA number for our 88 FC.
It is a GM headlight switch, a split rocker switch. Headlights and parking
lights, Ihave info on a pull up switch.

while driving. We made it into camp at 10pm on the driving lights. It's the
dashboard headlight switch - it was getting flaky and I'm pretty sure it burned
up, possibly along with connectors. I researched through the forum and the only
part number for the switch I could find was NAPA HL6669. The local NAPA store
didn't have it so I looked it up online and the only match I could find appears
to be a split toggle switch - which will definitely not fit in the dash to
replace the pull up design in our 86 PT-40.

to the parts so I can match them up until Monday (we'll be doing only daylight
driving until then). Can anyone advise a source and part numbers for the
correct switch and connectors so that I can have them at hand when we park? I'm
dedicating a day to the effort and am willing to pay overnight shipping so that
we get the parts. I'll also be doing the headlight relay upgrade at the time...
