<VV> Headlamp switches

[Ed Dowds]

I think someone has already posted about this but I will again:
To get the parking lights to stay on with the headlights on '65-'66 Corvairs 
you just have to move the purple wire in the headlight switch connector to 
the existing blank hole in the connector. I have done this on my previous 
"65 and my present '66. The switch AND the connector were designed to allow 
this change. I've always suspected it was required on cars delivered in 
Europe and maybe Canada.
I've converted both of my cars that had 1895 bulbs to 1816 bulbs so I can 
see the gauges easily. The same can be done on later cars that use 194 bulbs 
by going to 168 bulbs.
The only "load" that would be on a headlight switch having "more" bulbs 
would be on the resistor built in for panel light dimming.  The panel light 
fuse spec is the same for Corsas, Monzas and 500s!
I agree that much more money is saved by having one part number to stock 
rather than several! Would a parts department like to stock one switch for 
each year or just one for several different years?
