This is a 53 1/2 ton with original dimmer switch. I am replacing with a repop. Haven't removed the original yet, but there are three wires on the original. The repop has three terminals labeled: L, 1 and 2. I'm assuming that one is the power and the other two are the low beam and high beam. Can anyone tell me which wire goes where on the replacement part? Thanks

You can use your VOM to bench test the new switch and figure out the connections before installing it. Check the resistance between the terminals to determine which two are connected. Click the switch and check again. One terminal will be common (connects to another terminal) in both tests - that's the one that connects to the light switch. The other two terminals connect to the low & high beams - doesn't matter which one goes where.
