Multifunction switch, or turn signal switch.

GM calls it "LEVER, T/SIG & HDLP".

Keep in mind though that it's not the turn signal lever that turns on your brights. It just actuates a rod that pushes the switch. The high beam switch itself is mounted further down on the column, right next to the starter switch.

Really depends on what part of the system you mean. The dimmer switch is on the lower part of the column (#83).

You pull on the multi-function lever and it moves the pivot and pulse switch. It moves a rod that moves the dimmer.
