Re: [Chevelle-list] Questions and advise
I had that same question in the mid 70's when I was an electronics tech school student. I wanted to make my parking lights stay on. So on my '65 I removed the headlight switch to see what I could do. I noticed a small brass shorting bar on the switch's pins. After poking around with a meter I found that I could move a lug in the connector to the pin over the shorting bar. It took working the lug out of the connector with a paper clip and putting it back in the right hole. I added those amber bulbs to the front and my parking lights have come on with the headlights for years. Chuck 65 Malibu 327 - 4 speed do the parking lights also come on by themselves as well??

The name changes with the function. When they're parking lights,
they give the vehicle definition at night, while parked.
Remember, white lights in the direction of travel.
ie: backup lights while in reverse. When the headlights are on
they are defined as running lights. In the day, sealed beam headlights
would fail quite often. This gives the vehicle definition at night
when traveling so it wouldn't be mistaken for a motorcycle.
Parking lights / Running lights at the swap of a connector terminal.
The tail lights act as parking lights and stay on through both
positions
of the headlight switch. So simply combining the tail lights with the
front parking lights will give you the desired effect. (The shorting bar
in my headlight switch made a pin available to connect the tail lights
to the parking lights in parallel)
Note: This has nothing to do with brake lights / signal lights which
is
accomplished with complex switching at your signal lever in your
steering column and a load sensitive flasher. That's a different
animal.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Questions and advise
Some one suggested to just run a wire to connect the running lights to the headlights. This would make the head lights come on when the running lights come on because they would back feed the headlights. This would not be a problem unless you wanted to just run your running lights and not your headlights. A simple way to make the running lights stay on when the headlight are on is to wire a relay to power up with the headlight power and hook up a jumper to the running light circuit from a normally open switch leg of the relay. The power for the running lights could come from a jumper off of the same wire that you use to power the relay. Just jump it to the other side of the normally open switch in the relay. This could be done under the dash or even under the hood if you bought a weather proof relay switch. If you need a schematic, I could draw one up real quick and send it to you. You can get a 30 amp relay for 6 or 8 dollars most any where at an auto parts store. As I am thinking about this, I seam to remember that there are 2 separate circuits that power up the running lights on some cars. One for the front and one for the back. If this is the case, then both front and back circuits would have to be tied in to the same place on the relay. - Original Message - From: Clint Hooper To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 1:05 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Questions and advise The parking lights go out on my 69 when the headlights are turned on.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Questions and advise
The windshield and rear window trim are stainless steel. There is no reason to seal it after buffing. My only suggestion is to hold on tight and work away from the center away from the rotation of the wheel. If it gets away from you, particularly on a high speed buffer you may be looking for a new piece of trim. I turned one into a pretzel. Dan Solomon Never be afraid to try something new.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Questions and advise
Mike The mouldings you mentioned are SS. Just hit them with wax when you wax the car. Alum trim would benefit from an occcasional metal polishing. Stainless dosen't have to be waxed, but it will make them clean up more easily and less likely to water spot. I don't know what to tell you on the headlight/parklight issue. On the older Chevelles the park light lit when the switch was in the middle position and went out when the headlights came on. Somefolks like the parking lights to stay on with the headlights.
