Hi John:
Well ain't that a kick in the head ! You're right. I compared and not only is
it headlight switch, it's a busted headlight switch ! My first truly pitiful
failed Intenet purchase, and from a Triumph guy yet. The switch has a yellow
"OD" handwritten on it using the yellow crayon you see in junk yards. Clearly
somebody was misinformed. I bought it last years, so too late to return.
Sigh...
Now to try to find a real one fast. I hope there's one in Montreal since I'd
like to button up the wiring before continuing. What a rip!
Cheers,
Mark (sound of grinding teeth and prospect of mounting dentist bills)

That sounds like a headlight switch. My OD switch only has 2
connectors. John Mitchell 76 TR6
