I scored a Lucas switch (p/n 102SA BS1004 A), reputed to be for TR6s.  It 
has low beam / high beam and flash (which is why I bought it) 
capabilities.  However,  by design (I took it apart to verify) low beams 
are on when the high beams are on.  Eh?  This feature is not indicated on 
Dan Masters' schematics, although for the old type headlights it might make 
sense, just to throw more light.  My concern is that I'm going to run 
100/55W halogen bulbs, and have concerns about heat dissipation.

Has anyone run halogens in their TR6?  Any problems with premature burn out?

tnx
