I'm back, I haven't been able to work on the car since May due to having an extenstion done.
The last thing I did was label up the wiring loom from Premier Wring having spent a lot of time staring at the BMW wiring diagrams and matching it to the loom.
So this week I have been connecting things up. One thing I can't seem to get to work is the Side/Dip switch. Has anyone else tried to use the existing E30 light stalk with a Lucus Premier Loom?
I spoke to Premier who were helpful but suggested I get a different lighting switch, such as an early mini one.
Hi Will,
good to hear that you are back in the garage!
I did use the e30 stalk for dipped/main beam and flash but used relays as I didn't think the bmw switches would be up to it without. I ended up with quite a complicated wiring to get it all to work but don't have a wiring diagram that I could publish. I ended up with three relays. One to switch the main beams on, one to flash the full beam and a change over relay to switch between main and dipped beam.
