Front end light issue
Hey guys, what do you know about when you have on the running lights and then go to put on the headlights, the front running lights go out?? The truck in question is a '65...(the front signals work with the headlights on but no runners)

Re: Front end light issue
Runing/parking lights are not supposed to stay on when you put head lights on. You can wire them to stay on though if you decide you want them that way.

Re: Front end light issue
I believe there is a different year switch that can be installed to do this. I don't know which years though. Maybe from a car?

Re: Front end light issue
Geez, thanks, I was starting to think there might have been something wrong with the truck.....(I did have a sneaky suspicion it was functioning as designed but I wasn't sure).
