Re: [AMC-list] Parking Light Modification & Trunk Light Question

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't remember posting (but I have a head injury, so what else is new? LOL!) I was going to say switching to the newer headlight switch on my roommate's '68 caused the lights to operate like newer ones (on with headlights) but we may have switched the wires on the plug. I suggested LED replacement lights for the back, but got a "Are you crazy?" look from her. (I have a brand new red one for 1157 swapping I was going to try)

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
