Headlamps

Dipped beam The lighting switch common receives battery voltage on an N wire from fusible link 3 in the engine compartment fuse box.

Provided the dip/main switch is in the ‘DIP’ position, operation of the lighting switch to position II, switches battery voltage on a UR wire to fuses A2 and C2 in the passenger compartment fuse box. Battery voltage is switched from fuse A2 to the RH dip lamp on a UR wire and from fuse C2 to the LH dip lamp on a UR wire. Since the other side of the lamps are permanently connected to earth on B wires the lamps will illuminate.

Main beam The lighting switch common receives battery voltage on an N wire from fusible link 3 in the engine compartment fuse box.

Provided the dip/main switch is in the ‘MAIN’ position, operation of the lighting switch to position II, switches battery voltage on a UW wire to fuses A1 and C1 in the passenger compartment fuse box. Battery voltage is switched from fuse A1 to the RH main lamp on a UW wire and from fuse C1 to the LH main lamp on a UW wire. Since the other side of the lamps are permanently connected to earth on B wires the lamps will illuminate.

Headlamp flash The lighting switch common receives battery voltage on an N wire from fusible link 3 in the engine compartment fuse box.

Regardless of the position of the dip/main switch or the lighting switch, operation of the headlamp flash switch switches battery voltage on a UW wire to fuses A1 and C1 in the passenger compartment fuse box. Battery voltage is switched from fuse A1 to the RH main lamp on a UW wire and from fuse C1 to the LH main lamp on a UW wire. Since the other side of the lamps are permanently connected to earth on B wires the lamps will illuminate for as long as the headlamp flasher switch remains closed.
