So, I just upgraded my 122 to use the signal stalk to flash/switch hi and lo beams with a bistable relay as per R. Kwas' article on the Swedish Embassy Volvo site- good article, pretty easy job and life is better now. However, I can't remember if the headlights were previously tied to the ignition (ie. did they only work with the key on?). Just can't remember, and because of my memory lapses I like the idea of power to the headlights being swithched with the ignition, so I'm wondering which of the fuse block terminals are ignition dependant, so I can wire up a relay to kill the battery power to the headlights relay when the ignition is off. Fun with relays, yippee~!
Thanks, and happy holidays!
