|
|
Wiring is my weakest skill and I need help with a headlight wiring diagram using the following bag of components:
Round 58-67 Type 1 headlight switch. I think this is the terminal pinout but would appreciate confirmaion
It seems a simple 2 position pull switch, with terminals labelled:
30 starter solenoid, ignition switch, #51 (B+) on voltage regulator
58 Tail and tag light
58B dash lights
56 Floor mounted dimmer switch
There is no terminal on position 57 - parking lights??
Foot operated 3 terminal dipper switch
5 terminal Bosh relay(s)
Type 2 turn signal switch with a headlight flasher. Flashing ones lights is a necessity here in Thailand and it would be nice to do this like a modern car
Dual filament front turn signals, so one could be a running light.
License plate & reverse combo light
headlights and taillights
Headlights have a integral small running light bulb, and it would be nice if this could be wired so that it is always on for daytime running lights.
Can someone please give me a sketch how this is to be wired.
Beer is on me if you ever come to Chiangmai, Thailand |

Here is wiring diagram for 67 type 1....

Most of the wiring is all the same for the early years type 1 bugs...
Should be able to figure out wiring by tracing wires on these diagram....

Thanks but part of the problem is how to wire the turn signal headlight flasher, having the little integral headlight bulbs as automatic daytime running lights, modern relays on all the circuits, etc |

In other words you want someone to do complete wiring diagram for you....
This is all I have and its for very basic lighting for offroad/rail lighting....
The thing you have to do in not think of all the lighting as one circuit.... You have:
Marker lamp circuit..
Tail lamp circuit...
Stop/Turn lamp circuit
Headlight (high/low beam) circuit
Daytime running lamp circuit...
And to really mess with your mind 4 way emergency flasher....
Work out each circuit to create your lighting "system"...

I understand how to do the basics but is adding the modern car features that stump me
I would take it to a shop if I could but getting quality work is impossible, and trying to explain what I want is almost as impossible. I have nee down this route with the last car, and want it done right this time around - that dictates that I need to do it myself |
