Location of circuit breaker for headlights

[torry61]

The headlights on my 63 Galaxie stopped working, the parking & dash lights all work, I'd thought I'd start at the breaker but I can't find it.

 

IF I have to replace the headlight switch, will I have to pull the speedo head?

 

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken the '63's headlight switches had the internal circuit breakers inside the switch.  Just like on '65's.  Replace the switch and youshould be good.

You should not have to remove the speedometer to replace the switch.  On the bottom side of the switch, you will feel a button.  Press it up and pull out the headlight knob.  It will come all the way out.  Pull off the wiring harness and unscrew the bezel on the outside of the dash.  Remove the switch from underneath the dash.
