I have a 1971 MGB that has a problem with the headlight switches.=C2=A0 Bef=
ore I start replacing everything and hope for the best, I thought I would a=
sk if any of you has had a similar problem, or can suggest a possible solut=
ion.
When I push bottom of the light switch (on the dash) to the first position,=
 the parking lamps and tail lights come on.=C2=A0 OK, so far.=C2=A0 When I =
push the light switch to the second position, the headlights come on with t=
he low beam.=C2=A0 OK, again.=C2=A0 Now comes the problem.
When I move the stalk on the left side of the steering column forward (towa=
rd the dash), the lights go off (i.e. no high beams).=C2=A0 If I pull this =
stalk all the way towards me, the high beams do come on, so the bubs are ap=
parently OK.
My first thought was that it may be the high beam/low beam and direction in=
dicator switch located on the steering column.=C2=A0 Does this sound right?=
=C2=A0 Any other thoughts?
And finally, if this is the case, is this switch available, and if so, do y=
ou have a source you would recommend.
Thanks for your help.
Jack Wheeler
