Headlamp Switch

[ROOODBOY]

Hi guys.

As some of you may have read, I'm new to 'Wedging'!

I picked my first TVR up after work this evening and absolutely loved it driving home.

So, by then it's dark and I took a mate out for a drive, and all was great, until I flicked full beam on down a fairly narrow road at around 50mph and suddenly all the lights go out!

It kinda added to the excitement but I feel it could become tiresome on a long journey!

Anyway, after some fumbling around with the switch whilst parked in a bus stop and after they popped up and down quite a few times and relays clicked behind the dash they came back on.

I'm guessing it's the switch, so does anyone know if the main light switch is from another car or if / where I can get a new one?

Thanks,

Martin.


I forgot to mention, it's a 1989 350i.

Yeah, they look like Ford column stalks to me.

Thanks!

Haha, yeah I'm used to rubbish headlamps, so that's not a problem!

Do the lamp pods always wobble about a lot too..?

Or is it something I should be able to sort out, mine shake like mad!

Haha, ok I get the jist that I'll probably be living with rubbish headlamps again then!

It's not a big problem for me, I'm used to old cars and rubbish lights, just wondered if the wobbling was normal, thanks guys!

Thanks for your help guys.

I think it's the switch and just coincedence that it happened when I switched on full beam, as several times when I've switched the lights on the pods have come up but no lights on the dash until I jiggled the switch a little bit.

Anyone know what cars that switch was also fitted to?

Thanks.

And now purchased!
