Gday all,
So as part of a roadworthy my 1200 coupe must have working park and headlights. Both work but the headlights are coming on when i try to switch just the park lights on. The 2 stage light switch (off > park > lowbeams )clearly has the 2 distinct switch areas and it appears to be working fine with the exception that the first click is turning on both the parks and lowbeams. Anyone have any idea where this might be caused? The switch or a relay? A wiring issue? I have 6 days before it goes for return inspection any help is greatly appreciated.

Thats normal operation..

Just put the indicator stalk to the high beam position and the low beams go off leaving only the parks going..

Thanks mate, anyone know if thats ok by VicRoads RWC standards? Anyone other than me been pulled up on it?

sure, just show them your gennuine Datsun 1200 owners manual, where it shows the this operation

I never had issues with 3 1200's I have owned and my sedsn went through engineering with it and passed.

Think your rwc doesn't do that many old cars

Thanks heaps guys guess ill just have to show the shop doing the inspection and hope they dont try and con their way into installing a new circuit which i wont fall for ill just go elsewhere. Glad i got the advice from the older hands before delving to deep :)
