daverod, I used an aftermarket 12v switch from classicparts.com it was like 34 bucks, headlight bulbs are 12v, they are like 7 bucks each I think. I had one go bad right out of the box though. I don't run any headlight relay, but I do have this weird problem that every once in a while all my lights will go out. If I mess with the switch they will come back on. It doesnt do it very often, so I have no idea what is really causing it. I use a dimmer switch on the floor which runs high and low beam, even have it wired into the gauges so the orange light lights up when your high beams are on. As for you ignition wire.... I have an aftermarket cylinder (the original ones aren't mean to roll the engine over with a turn of a key, they just connect the circuit and you'd use the foot start) you can get those switches at the auto part store. Ignition wire should wire into it. So you have the EZ wire 21 circuit harness?
