4 position light switch
I've converted to a 4 pos switch when I refurbished the dashboard. I'm having problems connecting the right wires to the correct positions. can someone please make a photo or sketch how to connect the various wires? the electrical diagram seems to be correct, but the position of the connections is not clear to me.

Re: 4 position light switch
the Red with Yellow stripe are the Fog/Driving light wires. All Jags are like that until at least the last 1992 Series 3 body XJ-12 rebadged "V12" after 1987.

Re: 4 position light switch
I bought it with the screens in place, but I were able to buy the right fog lights on ebay. I have 4 , one burned thru, I'm planning to modify this one to take a halogen bulb.

Re: 4 position light switch
yes, it looks like they came in 2 versions, one with replaceable bulbs, one with sealed beams. I have a pair with sealed beams from 1966, incredibly they still light up.
Re: 4 position light switch
When I rebuilt my car four years ago it came with the driving lights but no seperate switch that I was aware of. I have the standard three position switch. The previous owners attempt at home DIY wiring for hazard lights and rear fog lights was all ripped out in the initial phase and I could have taken out the driving lights switch as well. When I put it all back together I rewired the driving lights in to the Hi beam circuit so when I switch from low to high beam the driving lights also light up.
How are they normally switched on if you do not have a four position switch?
I very rarely drive at night so don't get to use them often but they certainly improve night vision when they come on.
I have the original Lucas WFT6 sealed beams in place and have collected a couple of spares from the odd autojumble because as far as I know Lucas no longer make the WFT6 sealed beam. The size for the S Type is different to the ones used in the Mk2. I think the Mk2 had 5 inch spot/fogranger lights WFT5 which were fitted with a bulb and the S types are 5 1/2 inch WFT6 and were sealed beams.
