The American spec Spitfires, and Heralds, natch' will have the foot dipper switch, to conform to US standards of the day. The main lighting switch is the stalk on the column, and the instrument lights are the knob on the dash.
The British spec has the main light switch on the dash, and instrument lights are part of that circuit- it is a 2 position pull switch- first is parking, then a twist/pull and headlights come on. The dipper switch for the British version is on the column, and this is the one Haynes represents. For the US, there will be three wires coming out of the stalk switch- should be blue with a colored tracer- Red goes to parking lights, white is to dimmer switch, and solid red is power feed. >From the dipper, one is sistered with a thinner wire for high beams, and the other is low beams. Something close to that there... I don't have my US wiring guide handy Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "flinters" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Geoff Heyland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 10:25 PM Subject: Re: Mark II Hi Beam Foot Switch > I'm not aware that there *is* a footswitch for the highbeam dimmer in > early Spits.
