I finally got my new Pilot lights, I now have everything to do the job.
I know how to wire it stock and do the high beam 'cut out' by-pass etc. BUT what I really want, is to be able to turn on the fogs anytime my little heart desires. Demick, Brad, anybody can you tell me how to do this on my '74? Thanks Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Pretty simple.
Make sure your battery is disconnected. Remove the headlight switch from the dash mounted location and let it hang down below the dash. Locate the black wire w/ blue stripe that is plugged into the #56 terminal (there will also be a grey wire and on a '73 car there will be a red wire w/ white stripe all connected together). Carefully cut the black wire w/ blue stripe as close to the end as possible leaving no part of the wire exposed. Crimp a piggy-back spade connector to the end of this wire. A piggy back spade terminal looks like this: (IMG:http://www.geocities.com/amabilidade/kz864.jpg) Now, if you want to be able to turn on your fog lights anytime the ignition key is turned on, then locate the #15 ternimal on the headlamp switch and remove the connector that is attached to it. Plug on the black wire w/ blue stripe and then piggyback the wire that was originally on the #15 terminal. My preferred setup however, is for the fog lights to be able to go on with the running lights. This allows me to leave the fog light switch on all the time and they come on anytime the headlight switch is pulled into the running light or the headlight position. So if I want the fogs without the headlights, then I just pull the headlight into the running light position. To do this conversion, simply use the 'K' terminal on the headlight switch rather than the #15 terminal. Everything else is identical. That's it. Good Luck! Demick |
