headlight power switch

[fundsrlow]

A DPDT switch could be added to the HL wiring to place the high and low filaments in series. This lowers the current draw some and the light is still on. I tried it on a car HL and found with a HB of 5 Amps and a LB of 4 Amps in series they were 3 Amps. The light was fairly bright too. Details: You need to draw a little three wire diagram of the HL to follow the switch wiring. One pole (side) of the switch opens the HL ground in power saving mode. The other pole at the same time moves the HL LB connection to ground. Of course in normal position the switch causes the HL to be powered as stock. With the switch in power saving position the bikes HB switch gives both in series. The LB position gives HL off. George in PA
