Hey chaps, no doubt a stupid question, but i can't find the answer online, and as i have the digital version of the Workshop manual gave up looking after 30 mins.

This is in the drivers footwell to the left of the break pedal....

Pressed it when doing 5 mph and no Nitrous injected acceleration, flame throwing exhaust or missiles/guns behind the lights............??

Check it when your not driving down a very dark country road, as I did in a barracuda a few years ago, all the lights went out even the dash ones, that was a scary few seconds

Yea, can confirm its the same on
My dart.

Apart from the lights are the wrong way round. Dipped = main beam light on.

Took me ages to work it out.

it works like a toggle

press once main

press again dipped

press again main

press again dipped

press again main

press again dipped

press again main

press again dipped

press again main

press again dipped

press again main

press again dipped

press again main

etc

you can get one to be on main and one to be dipped and it makes the car look like its winking

but it takes a bit of work....and you'll fail yer MOT

Helps outrun the cops when i'm out on the Moonshine run.........

I believe it was for the air vets in the rear (runs up to the rear window).

Again i'm only guessing as i've not looked at it that hard, plus i believe the air box has been disconnected or (A/C has for def) been removed!

Also have the lights option on mine. Map light under passenger side of dash and fender mounted indicator lights plus othe stuff.

Not sure i remember seeing another Dart with it on over here yet (again not something i was looking out for last year).

Car was also originally a /6, hence peg leg diff with gay gears!

Fender tag is missing on mine so can't say for sure what options it had!
