Still does not work!! From the best that I can tell from laying upside down wrapped up in a ball under the dash, here is what’s happening and here is what I have.

I wired according to Strictly, should have been simple enough. When I now turn the second toggle switch on with either left or right blinker I get front amber lights hazarding correctly. The rears do nothing unless I hit the brake, then I have rear hazards.

Currently, looks like former owner, to keep the race car look, used covered toggle switches, using a five post toggle for the head light switch. Switch feels like it is off/on/on.

Best I can tell is not a whole lot from figuring out what is what. Its not really a bad wiring job, I just don’t know how they customized the splits. Currently, when you turn the headlight toggle on you get parking lights, next position you get headlights with no front amber light. I then spliced into the amber light wire and ran it to the dimmer switch. Now I have headlights with ambers, good you say, but there’s more. My front turn signals will not work with headlights on. If I disconnect amber splice , the turn signals work if front headlights are on but will not stay on all the time with the headlights on
.

On the headlight toggle, they were using top 2 terminals (side by side) and middle 2 terminals ( vertical) but not using solo bottom terminal.

On the converter, we are not using the brown wires (tail) on the box.

I feel like I am one or two wires away from correcting but still no luck. I don’t think it’s a bad toggle switch because I can get parking lights in first position.

All bulbs are dual filaments , and I have dual tail lights. Everything on the rears work fine except for what I mentioned with the hazards earlier.
