How do head lights work ?????
More questions....darn newbies.
Okay my 59 head light switch has 2 detents when i pull it out. The first detent turns on all the exterior lights, what does the second detent turn on ?
Shouldn't the first detent turn on just the "park lights" and dash lights and the second detent turn on the head lights ?
I have a dome light also, but it is turned on with an aftermarket toggle switch, shouldn't a rotation of the headlight **** turn on the dome light ?

You are correct.The first detent should not turn the head lights. The first detent should only turn on the dash, parking and tail lights.
The second detent adds the headlights and turns off the parking lights.

i recently bought a NOS headlite switch from dennis carpenter, and it worked as you discribed, This is not how I wanted it to work ( I wanted off-parking-headlites), so me being me, i took the switch apart, and reversed the switch contacts... these old switchs are so easy to dissasemble, they are held together with 4 small tangs, and i did have to make a notch in the plastic, so the switch would go back together. Total time to modify..... less than 30 minuites
