Brad;

The footswitch is a simple device...one wire (Yellow) IN from light switch, two wires OUT (Red for Hi-Beam, Gray for Lo-Beams) use a testlight to verify its function. Both Red and Gray go through 6Pin connector in engine compartment out to headlight buckets. Refer to wiring diagram: http://www.sw-em.com/122S%20Wiring%20Diagram.jpg I recommend locating and remedying the error first, then thinking about changing over to the bistable relay control.

Benski;

The CONTROL of the bistable relay can be performed at the directional signal stalk, but the actual switching takes place at the relay...and that seems to be where the problem is...so adding a bistable relay conversion into the mix now would only add new variables and sources of complexity and uncertainty...I recommend against this.

Cheers
