headlight switch schematic

[hoffman912]

does anyone have a schematic of a 68 headlight switch? ie the lay out of where all the numbers etc are and what they do..

i cant quite read all of them.

I am trying to connect my cibies to the high beam...

This should help. Can you post a photo of your '68, back of the switch?

hmmm thanks..

so which terminal do i connect to if i want fogs to come on with low beams, and which terminal do i connect to if i want cibies to come on with high beams..

this is for the power source to my aux switches.

here are mine.. hard to read but this should help determine what i have hopefully..

I put a simple answer in the other thread

Per the attached thread, you connect to the fuse block, which ultimatly ties back to the switch.

Harry, yes you can have all on a separate switch with independent relays and still operate based on headlight switch function. You should treat the referenced circuit as a guide for the Cibies. Leave the TTG as is, and repeat the process as I outlined earlier with the high beam connections on terminal 1 or 2 on fuse panel 2. Needed extras to be separate from TTG: relay, switch and wiring.

The only extra power generated on the headlight fuse is that which is required to pull in the contacts on the relay, so I am not concerned of overloading the switch - which is still protected by the fuse. The issue with too many watts with the headlights kills the turn signal/hi-lo beam switch. This has been corrected by many by installing a relay into the headlights circuit since they did not have one initially. Make sure you do this upgrade as well if not already.

If your TTG lights are using fuse 2 on fuse panel #1 for power (connects to terminal 30 on relay), then you may overload that terminal with the cibies if you choose to use them at the same time. Guessing you do not have power windows, you could carry the load by using fuse 3 on panel 1 to drive the Cibies. A heavy gauge (20 amp rating) red wire from the battery will need to be connected to the other side of terminal 3. The red wire is what powers the lights and should be rated for double the amps you will draw with the lights. 100w @ 12v = 8.33 A. I would use a 15 A rated wire or larger if this is not nominal.
