Re: [Healeys] running lights

I presume you mean daytime running lights.
On old cars having the headlights on all the time is not a good idea. 
The electrical system is not really up to the job.
On my Jensen Healey I converted the indicator lights with a white and 
amber lens to take a powerful white LED light that comes on when the 
ignition is switched on. It is not blinding yet powerful enough to be 
noticed during daylight. On the AH you could convert the white town 
light lens and fit a much brighter LED light. You could also use an 
extra set of period fog/spotlights with a LED light bulb, e.g. H1. The 
LED's use only a fraction of the power that is needed for the standard 
or H4 headlamp bulbs. With the daytime running lights on the rear lights 
are of. Officially the daytime running lights should turn of 
automatically when the head lights are switched on.
