Front parking lights

[Charles K.]

Any help in diagnosing? For some reason when I reconnected all my lights only the front parking lights don't work. The headlights and rear lights work fine but not the fronts. Thanks

Always helps to know what year? If you are speaking about the 64 in your profile, the park lamps only work when the switch is at half cock, and not when the headlights are on.

Thanks Wayne, it is for my 64(my only vette at this time. I will have to double check that. I did not know that they dont work with headlights on.

Charles -

Parking lights didn't work with the headlights until the C3.

Re: Front parking lights-correct as usual

I checked my parking lights with the switch half out and they worked as you said. Now I have to figure out how to keep those two little contacts touching the bulb. Is there supposed to be a spring of some type to maintain tension against the bulbs? I was thinks of using the springs from a pen. I was going to slide the wire through the spring from the outside and hope it works.
