Floorboard Headlight Dimmer Switch or Foot Kill Switch.
This New Vintage Floorboard Headlight Dimmer Switch is a SPDT Latching Automotive Foot Switch made in the USA. It features a silver color and is designed to be waterproof, dustproof, and durable. This universal fitment switch is a vintage part with a 1.75" center, perfect for floor placement on vehicles.
In 1925, the dimmer switch was located on the steering
column. This changed in 1927, when the dimmer switch was moved to the
floor. Why did the location of the dimmer switch change? The automobile
makers decided it was too much of a distraction on the steering column and
agreed to move the dimmer switch to the floor. The floorboard area was wide
open, perfect for the floor-mounted dimmer switches, as they could also be made
larger and more durable. Car owners would enjoy the floor-mounted dimmer switch
for the next 50 years.
