Lincoln Zephyr Headlight Switch Question...

[Enbloc]

Thought I'd ask this question here as a few of you own and are familiar with LZ's.

I have a headlight switch from a '38 which I think was used up until '48 that I'm currently wiring. Its a two position (Off, On, On) with three contacts on the back.

The first position livens up the first contact and the second position livens up the second and third contacts but kills the power to the first.

Could someone tell me what the switch activates in its different positions.

Thanks.

That would be the parking lights . They turn off when the knob is pulled all the way out for the headlights. Off, park,headlights.

Yep, your right.

Wired it all in and parking lights go out when the headlights come on.

Thanks.
