Anyone ever experienced problems in there 1200 with Headlights coming on when you pull the headlight switch on for Parker's ? We thought we had it solved but its come back again, Help Please

My 1200 does the same thing, never bothered to check it out yet, maybe a faulty switch?

First click with the highbeam on will give you just park lights, second click with highbeam on will give you highbeam. Highbeam off, lights in both positions will be on dip.

Thanks problem solved. Will educate the mechanic on that one he told me different or i herd different

yes i went frantic trying to solve the problem before rego

turns out its a datsun thing

I think it's an early attempt at headlight flashers,like you get now.

Hey guys, I have just put all my car back together and my lights do the same headlights with parkers, all lights work fine apart from this, tried the solution that was mentioned did not change any ideas as I am trying to get it registered soon, any help thanks.

If you have them on high beam before and during pulling the switch on only parkers will come on on first click then high beams on second click. Both will be on on both clicks on low beam. If no joy check all your earths that was my problem originally and crappy old fuses.

This is why it is valuable to obtain an owner's manual for your 1200 -- it explains how these things work.

Datsun 1200 had a headlight flasher option, so it's not clear why the Aussie 1200s work that way. Less expensive than the option perhaps.
