[QUOTE="lee_812d, post: 174339, member: 5136"] Mine is not the original headlight or switch, it is a 3 position switch. There are four terminal posts and the knob turns the centre such that a ball contact moves between the four posts giving the 3 positions, and thus connects a pair together in each position. The centre is connected to the ball and also is connected to the terminal with the speedo/taillight so when the ball contacts the power terminal (in parking light or main light positions) the speedo/taillight is always on as well. Sorry I can't help with the diagrams, or layouts of the original things. Out of interest, does your switch have any internal connections etc not shown on those diagrams (because otherwise I can't see how the diagram works)? Or is that the question? I assume my name is pink because it is the colour chosen for the letter L - I didn't set it that way. [/QUOTE]
