One must be sure to use the solid Brown lead for this modification, because it is the lead controlled by the light switch.

Charles,
Got that and have it written down in my notes now.

Wasn't it the 64s that had the 2 brown wires and no Br/Wh wire coming into the switch? I thought that was what you said on the phone. And anyone doing the mod had to find the hot brown going to the tail lights for the jumper to work properly.

Here's a diagram I made to help out doing the mod. Just the tabs in the headlight switch as you look at it from the top. Pull knob will be at the bottom as you hold your switch.

Note:
I've been wondering if you could remove the connector that goes to the tab on the switch, out of the plug for the Purple wire, and then put it in the empty slot to connect the Brown and Purple wires without using a jumper. This could be a better way to make the connection to the tail lights without a jumper wire. If anyone gives it a try, let us know.
