In the Moss sale flyer (expiring today), is a good buy in driving lights.
Since I've been wanting a pair, I ordered them. Received them yesterday,
along with a badge bar with light brackets to mount them on. I was also
able to use the 10% discount certificate that I received at VTR. A heck of
a deal.
The good news is that they are genuine Lucas. The bad news is that they are
genuine Lucas!
Now my question is -- what's the best way to wire them? I want to use a
separate fuse holder in the hot side. Where's the best place to pick up the
+12vdc? Should I wire it through the ignition switch, so that they won't
run down the battery if I forget to shut them off? Will it take the extra
current?
My TR3B has two side-by-side switches on the dash. One is used to turn on
the heater fan. The other was unused, and I wired it to over-ride my
adjustable thermostat for the electric cooling fan that I added, so that I
can manually turn on the fan any time. I am leaning toward using this
switch for the driving lights, and adding another under the dash for the
cooling fan. What is the correct, original switch configuration?
