RE: turn signal/parking lights help

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The guru is Daniel Stern, he's in the vendor pages.
I believe he wrote that up to '64, parking lights went off when headlights
went on.
It wasn't until '65 that they changed that, because you could look like a
motorcycle at night.
He has a fix on his website to change this I believe.
I bought a whole kit of halogens and extra bright stop/tail/turn/plate bulbs
and relays and stuff from him last winter for my 64 4d belvedere but got
spooked by all the diagrams (but I have an uncle who's a wiz at this) so I
haven't attempted the changeover yet but check with him via the vendor
pages.
Dan is da man!

I agree.? the feature of running the parking lights when the headlights are
lit is a 70's and newer thing.? a 64 should not have parking lights lit when
the headlights are on.





Wayne,
On my '64 Belvedere, when I switch from parking lights to headlights,
the parking lights go off.  I believe that is the way the switch is
designed...Brian
