Sure do, my Charger has one! I actually liked the idea of switching high beams on/off with my left foot. I wonder why that design idea died?longboardnj wrote:cool stuff .. made me think of what oddities were in old cars.... floor mount high beam switch came to mind.. anyone remember them??civilguy wrote:Not rc, but this caught my eye during a recent search.

My charger has one too, so does my pickup and actually all but two of my cars have foot button high beam switch. Every car I own has a foot pedal E-brake too ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: oddities : post them here..
The location was rough on the switch (moisture, dirt, etc) but I think the main reason was as cars got smaller there was less room on the left for a switch- you'd always have your foot resting on it. I was driving my grandmother's car (Fairlane I think) back in high school and I went to switch on high beams and pushed it right through the rotted floor.Coelacanth wrote:Sure do, my Charger has one!
