Lights Q
I sent this direct to Alan Cordiero but his server refused it - so
I'm resending this way.....
About my "won't flick to brights" headlights - (but yes, they do work
on high beam when the stalk is puched forward...)

Thanks, Alan. So you're voting for the "add a relay and perhaps even
an extra wiring harness, relay-actuated" school of lighting, I take it.
If you've been there, done that, where in the circuit did you add the
relay? Thanks....
