[DeTomaso] Headlights

[John Donahue]

All the info given to me so far is great, thanks to all. In the "headlight  restoration" project, the rubber grommets  (three wire) in the headlight buckets are obviously original - one barely exists - and the white (yellowish) headlight plugs are obviously original. I would love to buy a pre-assembled set of buckets with new grommets and connectors rather than start splicing. I notice the 3 wires go back to a connector plug off the harness. Buying the whole assembly would be nice (desirable). Rather than going down the list of vendors published in the newsletter, anyone "been there-done that"?

Unless they are now making road signs that flicker when Panteras drive by. I also noticed that the word "motorcycle" is stamped on the glass of the headlight. My first quest was to make the light stay UP without illuminating, which I did with the ignition/headlight switch. For my own piece of mind, I would like to "rebuild" the entire system - greasing gears, etc. but don't want to do a "trial-and-error" thing when all you gurus out there can shed some light (no pun..) on me doing this. I had a heck of a time utilizing the manual knob to raise the lights until I played around enough with the ignition/headlight combo to keep them up, but not lit.
