Re: [AMC-list] Parking Light Modification & something else!

[wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I must have an early car or an older switch in place as my ft parking lights go out W/hlamps on.
   I run backup lenses up front with amber lamps, pointless add on, just a dumb "fun fact".

Rich,

1969 was the year they made the front parking lights stay on with the 
headlights. As far as wiring changes go, I would jumper the white wire 
on the switch over to either the blue or tan wires. The blue wire is for 
the rear parking lights and tan is for the headlights. The blue wire is 
probably the better choice as it will have less amps flowing through it.

Also, there is a chance that the switch got an extra terminal on it in 
69 or they and they simply used the newer switch to service the older 
cars. There is a note in the parts book that the 1970 switch is used to 
service the older models.
