    How wire Cibie headlights with parking lights?

    Have ordered some Cibie H-4's with provision for (integral, non stock) parking lights and am wondering how to wire them. Choice seems to be to run a wire from the lamp along the main harness thru the bucket to the fuse box or drill thru the bucket and somehow break into the parking light harness. Thoughts?

    I get to answer my own question.
    The answer, supplied on another list, is to examine the electrics coming into the headlight bucket. Electricity comes in from the fusebox or relays, feeds the headlight, then continues out the bucket to the parking and turn indicator lights. This makes it easy to splice in to the parking light circuit to support the "city light" bulb in the Cibie H4.
    This applies to the 74-77 cars, probably others.
