Re: Hi-Beam switch relocation ideas

I knew a fella once who hooked his horn to the dimmer switch. It worked fine but why i dont know. Just being different i guess.

I'd like to hook up my wipers up to it somehow for a one-wipe operation. I don't think I need it for a dimmer. I did an experiment. I drove for a whole year with my brights on and nobody noticed.

But I also think it would be fairly easy to hammer out a little recess to relocate it from the stock position.

I used the horn as the starter for a while, which was a handy anti-theft feature too in a way but it made a horrible grinding noise if you got cut off. No joke. Horn has a relay was my rationale, I suppose.
