tks Miles, Newzed and all that contributed.

thanks, will do. couple of pics to show what I am working with for fun.

tks , i plan on installing a relay for the headlights. Now I am going to clean all the front end terminals after seeing 11.4 volts at the terminals for the parking lights up front. In order to restore the the 4 wire junction box ( w/r,solid 'r', 2 greens) up by the steering colume, do i take it apart or acquire a new one if necessary. I did a continuity check on the w/r and red wire with combo headlight switch open and closed. No continuity. Does this mean I have to get a new switch?

will do tks

normal stock lights. They both work when I provide 12 volts to the circuit (on the fuse box) with power probe. Is the dimmer switch somewhere on the combo switch, I don't know where the dimmer switch (contacts ) are? Also, when I check the voltage from the front parking light circuit I get 11.4 volts when battery is 12.8. I am going to clean all the contacts on the front circuit ( headlight and parking light) connectors today. Maybe the issue is the voltage to the front headlights is low. Tks

289/v8 s30 conversion. My headlights do not turn on when combo switch turned on. All rear light work great. I checked combo switch terminal box with the 4 wires, for power at w/r wire, when switch turned on is ok 12 v. Checked red wire shows that it is a ground no voltage should be correct. I read where headlight circuit gives power to headlights via a ground through the dimmer switch. Headlights turn on when I feed 12v power to them with my power probe so i think the circuit is fine. Can anyone tell be how I can get a ground to the headlight circuit without a dimmer switch, iow, is there a terminal on the combo switch area (i.e. c9 plug) that I can run a ground wire to to allow a ground for the headlights to work. I get full voltage at the combo terminal box with the w/r and r and 2 gr, but 11.4 at teh circuit for the parking lights ( prolly seperate issue just needs terminal cleaning ) Tks
