Thanks go out to the cast of regulars that weighed in on my question
about modifying the 1967 parking lights to stay on with the headlights
like the later version cars. I wish to note the expertise of the
"regulars" like Matt Haas, Jim Blair, Dave Stoler and Frank Swygert (I
hope that covers the list) The suggestion of putting a jumper on the
switch wires (I used the jumper from the white to the blue -- the blue
operates the tail lights) worked seemingly very well. At least no
fuse blew and all the lights worked as I wanted them to. I now have
an amber bulb glow on the grille when the the headlights / hi-beams
are on, in addition to the normal parking light mode. Also thanks to
the clue about the mercury switch in the trunk lid -- who would have
"thunk"? All I had to do was loosen the mounting screw and rotate the
fixture about a quarter of a turn and like magic, the trunk light
worked again, just like it should! It even turned off when I lowered
the lid! 40+ year-old technology still at work.
Thanks to all,
Rich Morgan
