This is a picture of the dim/dip relay I believe it is a bunch of discrete components in a plastic case, and some potting compound. I haven't bothered to try and open it up, I just removed it and rewired for pilot lights. There is no provision for a fixing point so it tends to hang in the air under the dash, secured to the harness for support. I guess it could be secured to the inside of the bulkhead with double sided tape.
Just thinking about your pilot lights in the headlamps, there was a time when the wing top lamps were fitted but not connected. I guess it is possible that someone switched the connections, disconnecting the pilot bulbs, and connecting in the wing mounted lamps (position lights ?). The lighting wiring is normally under the front wing, a bunch of bullet connectors nicely placed to collect water and road dirt. Although if you do have dim/dip you wouldn't have needed pilot bulbs operational. Good luck with the search Mike Smith -----Original Message----- From: LawrenceLowe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 April 2012 14:45 To: mogtalk2 Subject: RE: [mogtalk2]side lights Hi Mike, Thank you, that all makes sense. A switch to put the filaments in series appeals to me as an electrical type more than the resistor idea. Yes my Mog is a transition vehicle, it has caught me and dealers out several times. It is the last of the short door 4/4s (mid-1997) with some fittings usually only found on the following early long door cars (mine has a powder coated bulkhead, not stainless steel). The pilot bulbs are wired at the headlight and their leads go into the harness but from there I don't yet know. I bought the car when it was three years old so there may have been changes during those years. Any information or pictures you may have will be very welcome. I'll take another look under the dash for a black box. I have taken a brief look and found nothing and I'm not a stranger to the tangle under there, but who knows what else is lurking behind the dash?
