Fed up of the TVR design so am consolidating headlight and foglight switches and bulbs into single units from CBS:

New switches have their own lights built in but not sure if I need double pole (6 terminals) or single pole (3 terminals)?

My current switches all have 4 terminals...

Guessing double pole?


Can anyone help?

Thanks

Take a look at what's fitted
So I tracked down the datasheet - C7050AF

Says 'Double Pole' and has 4 terminals so will be DPST

The Savage/CBS ones are either DPDT (6 terminals) or SPDT (3 terminals) both plus the 2 for LED.

So I'll need DPDT because they don't make a DPST!

Apart from the headlight which is single pole....Think that's right......!!

those switches and warning lights look good. I'm biased as I'm using them while redesignIng my S 1 dash

NOTE that they also do a moded wiring to the illumination which gives bright or dim when the switch is operated on/off
