i got a switch from TSC that is fused and supports 3 separate circuits. paid 5 bucks for it a couple of years ago.

TY...I shop there often...TY again...

A switch doesn't care what the voltage is. It just needs to be rated for the current your going to pull. Just go to an automotive parts store and ask for a universal light switch that is fused.

I should have added to ask for a single pole push/pull switch.

TY for your help..

How do I get one that will work both the front lights and rear lights ??

Oh, you want a switch for head lights and a tail light or a separate switch for a work light? If you want head lights and a tail light you just wire the tail light to the same terminal as the head lights on your new switch. If you want a work light, the easiest thing is to have a separate switch for that.

Off , Park , Headlight . Add an inline fuse maybe ? Even has the word "Lights" on the knob .

I would assume you would want the rear lights on at the same time as the headlights ? I don't know why I would not want all or nothing , but that's just me .

I used a marine switch from the boat repair place here in town. Supposed to be moisture resistant. It?s been working over ten years in all kinds of weather.
