Help, taillights don't work.

1999 Boxster, front parking lights, front side lights and the taillights don't work. The rear side markers work. Fuses are good, any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

Headlight switch. New ones are $140-$180. E_bay has them for $40-50.

You can also take your switch apart and clean contacts. The center two contacts lose their tension. If you clean them and pull them back out a little you'll be good to go....at least for a while!

Thanks, I'll take it apart and tinker with it before I order a new one.
