Is this a tilt tele column?

You can get these parts new from many of the Corvette companies.

You will need some steering column tools to get her open and look around. Once you are in, changing that is not all that bad. The worst part is you ahve to snake the wires through the entire column very slow and carefull.

This could cost up to $175 for a pro to do it for you, and as low as $10 if you pick up a used switch and slap it in there.

You can access the high beam swith pretty easy on the 77. The switch itself is located down by the point where the support bolts to the underside of the dash. There are a few bolts that hold it in, if you need a picture let me know, I have a few colums floating around that I can use to illustrate. Hopefully you just messed up the switch and not the level, 77's used a unique switch that is getting hard to find.

Thanks,
