Hello everyone,
My Comet has what I think is a pattern switch which I have struggled to get wired correctly. It has three positions "DIM" "OFF" and "FULL" going clockwise. I have been unable to find a way of wiring it so that the pilot light turns off when the main beam is selected.
Currently I have found the most workable solution is to use the "DIM" position as the "OFF" position, "OFF" as the pilot bulb position and "FULL" as the main beam position. Unfortunately the pilot bulb remains turned on in the main beam position. This means with a 10w halogen pilot bulb the dynamo is struggling to balance the main beam and other lights when "FULL" is selected.
I have dismantled the switch to determine whether it is possible to alter the "wiper" positions (which seem to be illogical and impractical) but to no avail. VOCS, VINTECH and Paul Goff all stock a three position switch....... anyone know whether they will exhibit the same problem?
One possible solution is to buy an extremely expensive 4 position switch from VOCS and try it out...... VINTECH and Paul do not appear to stock this one.
