Hi, Listers:

I need some suggestions everyone. I have just mounted a pair of Lucas SLR 576
driving lights on my Tiger and am in the process of wiring them up. I have a
factory-style Sunbeam toggle switch to operate them with, but my problem is
that I'm not sure where to mount it. Can anybody tell me where they were
usually mounted when the cars were new? Is this one of those situations where
whoever installed the lights just mounted the switch "wherever?"

I don't particularly want to drill a hole in my dash for the switch, but I
also don't want some dorky looking deal hanging down from the dash either.
Was there a factory-type mounting plate for an auxilliary driving light
switch? As always, I appreciate any help that any one of you could give me on
this.

Happy Easter,
Andy Walker

Andy,

One idea would be to convert the switch that is normally used as the panel
light dimmer switch for that purpose. Nobody ever runs the panel lights
other than full voltage anyway, right?

Andy,

I used the hole that the Tiger plugged from an Alpine choke, as the
Tiger chokes were not manual. The hole needs a little backside carving
for the Lucas switch to fit, but the front remains the same. Looks like
it belongs.

If you've changed to a manual choke, it can be replaced with an electric
choke conversion kit.

BTW: I would definitely install a remote relay, of the square socket
mounting kind, about 35 to 50 amps. The socket should have a fuse in
the line.

Steve

Listers:

Although I am a bit late, I would like to thank everyone who responded to my
question about where to mount the switch for my Lucas driving lights on my
Tiger. It looks like I'm going to use the panel light switch after all.
Thanks again for your input.
