Right now my headlites roll up on the fisrt click of my pulling on the knob (easy there). I would much rather the first clik be just running lites and fog/drivers if I so choose.
Can this be done on a 1970 or do I need a full rewire of the liting circuit? I also have no power to the fog lites. I installed a Jwest flash module (good stuff!) and the switch lites up, but no flashy and no litey at the devices. I did test the lites them selves and they work... The car came with both fogs busted so I sorta screwed up and installed the flash before verifing that the damned circuit was good! yeah yeah, get a baseline check the physical layer, Dino you should know better, yadda yadda yadda |

I want the parking lights on as well. The issue I am trying to cure first is the headlights popping up on the first click...

Haynes says they come up, and the running lights come on, on the first click. Headlights come on, on the second click. Can't see any reason why you couldn't change it to suit your needs, as I did. Normally driving/foglights won't come on without the headlights on. I found it quite easy to make them operate from the driving/foglight switch, completely independent from the headlights. I'm sure you could change the headlights wires to raise and come on at the second click, if that's what you want. Personally, I don't see any reason to. Now, daytime driving lights, that makes sense to me.
