These things are not mass produced any more, so they're bound to be a bit spendy.

You can also get an electronic version for $50.

Glad I found this thread. The shop that did my state inspection failed my 64 American for this saying I needed a headlight switch. I went through the wiring and a spare switch and was getting ready to have a breakdown when I came across this thread.

Going to bring a copy of this thread and a wiring diagram to the inspector and cram them down his throat, lol.

Thank you!

IIRC I got my 70 Javelin switch local. My project I am replacing all swithes & senders if they can be gottin.
So far only the heater blower switch is a no show anywhere so I hope it works.

This is almost correct on the side marker light history.
The government mandated side marker lights OR reflectors on vehicles built starting January 1, 1968. Most automakers put illuminated side lights on most of their '68 cars. Some (like AMC with the American) used reflectors, which were probably cheaper, and still met the requirement.
Starting with January 1, 1970 the requirement was for BOTH illuminated and reflective side lights. That's one reason that a '70 Javelin front side marker is very different from a '69 Javelin front side marker.
