A switch assembly in which a lever rotates a separate rotary member to operate a first electrical switch and the lever pivots within the rotary member to operate a second electrical switch. The rotating member is held at a first position and a second position when the rotary member is turned. A solenoid is linked to a cam that restores the lever to a neutral position between the first and second positions. A return mechanism returns the pivoting member to its original position when the lever is released.

Switch assembly

There is provided a dimmer passing device for a headlamp of a vehicle having a light switch which drives a light relay when it is on, a momentary control switch which activates the light relay when it is on, a latch circuit which alternately turns on and off an internal switching element in response to the on state of the momentary control switch, and a dimmer relay which causes the light relay to energize a low beam of the headlamp when the internal switching element is turned off and which causes the light relay to energize a high beam of the headlamp when the internal switching element is turned on.
