Do you have a specific need to turn the light off? If you can stand to have the light on all the time, just unplug the switch from the wiring harness and remove it entirely. Then plug the loose ends on the harness back into each other, and wah-lah the light is on all the time.

I got that idea from others here, and ran mine that way for years. Works very well. :supz:

They tend to fall apart

I run mine for safety since we ride mostly single track and not much sun makes it's way through the trees

Carvr runs his with a standard 3 way switch. Either the light is on or his grip heaters hi/lo

Mine went bad right after I bought my KDX, I made a thread about it asking if they can be repaired. A member saw it and sold me their old one for $5. But otherwise I was going to go with the always on technique that so many here use, because these switches seem to go bad often and are hard to come by used.
