Is there a way to set the lights up so when I want the parking lights on only the headlights will stay down ?
Thanks.

? My '72L parking lights come on with the center position of the stock 3 position headlight rocker switch. The buckets do not come up until the last position of the headlight switch.
Mine is an 81 and only has a 2 position switch. But that could be the reason why..
Thanks.

YOUR NUMBER 3 AND 4 FUSES (COUNTING FROM THE TOP) PROTECT YOUR LEFT AND RIGHT PARKING LIGHTS INDIVIDUALY, BUT ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER BEFORE THE FUSE TO RECEIVE POWER FROM A SINGLE LINE IN, FROM THE LIGHTING SWITCH(THAT WOULD BE AN ORANGE WIRE). SWITCH 12 VOLTS POSITIVE TO THIS LINE AND YOUR LIGHTS WILL COME ON INDEPENDENT OF YOUR LIGHTING SWITCH. IT SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED FROM ALL OTHER CURCUITS, BUT BE ADVISED THAT THE 3RD AND 4TH FUSES ALSO CONTROL THE SIDE MARKER, TAIL, AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. BUT THAT IS WHAT COMES ON IN ANY CAR IN WHICH YOU TURN ON THE PARKING LIGHTS. LASTLY F.Y.I. THE NUMBER 1 AND 2 FUSES ARE FOR YOUR LEFT AND RIGHT HIGH BEAMS, AND YOUR 5 AND 6 ARE FOR THE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS. THIS IS A GOOD DESIGN WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT; YOU CAN BLOW A FUSE ON A DARK MOUNTAIN ROAD SOME NIGHT AND STILL HAVE THE OTHER HALF LIT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!
I LEFT OUT: THE DASH LIGHTS ALSO COME ON WITH THE PARKING LIGHTS(FUSE #3), BUT YOU CAN DIM THOSE USING BOTH OF THE REOSTATS. REGARDS, MARLIN.
Thank you Marlin. I appreciate the help.
