Marty HW100 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 This is my first post to this forum, so firstly hello! Secondly I've had a look through the threads but cannot see one related to my issue, if there is I apologise.I bought a new wiring loom for my '71 Spitfire and got myself a bit confused with the lights circuit, mainly the high beam column switch wire colours. From my Haynes manual the wire colours seem to swap over after the bullet connectors i.e. blue/white connects to blue/red and blue/red connects to blue/white???? This doesn't seem right?Hopefully, if I've done it right, I've attached a photo of the manual.My question is, which do I follow, wire colours or the Haynes?Many thanks.

DougBGT6 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Here's a link to some very good diagrams, although not as old as your car I'm sure they'll give you a clue. I find these far easier to follow than Haynes which are difficult to read and sometimes incorrect. http://www.triumphspitfire.com/wiring.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Blue/white is the main beam circuit, blue/red is the dipped beam circuit. looks like your manual is coded wrongly in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty HW100 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks DougBGT6, those are much clearer than the Haynes manual. Not quite the right year but they tie in with what Dogsbody has said, so thank you both!I know what I'm doing tonight - a little re-wiring me thinks!

Marty HW100 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Right, I think I'm sorted! Just one more question:Which way do you move the column switch stalk to change from dipped to main? Mine is up for main beam, down for dipped. Is this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 My 13/60 has the 3 position light stalk. Fully up is for sidelights only, mid ( ie down one ) is for main beam, fully down is for dipped beam. Hope this helps, cheers, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
