Headlight Switches
There are two headlight switches, one for turning on
the headlights and the other operates an indicator
light on the instrument panel. Both switches are
located behind the left headlamp assembly.
When the headlamp lever is forward,’ the
operating mechanism rotates the headlights to open
position,
the headlight instrument panel
indicator light switches on until the headlamps are
locked in full open position at which time the
lamp switch is turned off.
Along with the headlights, the headlight
turns on the parking lights, taillights, license plate
lights and rear side marker lights.
