Technical Dim Those Lights !!

I ran out of real estate in the roadster. I ended up mounting the dimmer pedal in the floor beneath the column. If I had known about the kick panel idea I would have done that.

 

Mounted mine on floor, pretty close to kick panel. Don't need to use the whole foot(ball of foot) to operate the switch, just the edge of your foot.

 

With all the cars on the road today with those high intensity or whatever they're called headlites, I see no reason to dim mine!

 

You are correct, even in my daily OT Subie I can leave them on bright and still glare less than many other cars on the road.

 

Man the ot new stuff really is out of control bright. Not a fan. In my new ot sports car, I never use the high beams. Just not needed....

 

I had thought about something like this myself. I thought about mounting it on the bottom inside of the dash where I could just use the top of my knee to hit it.

. Don't have seats in the tudor yet to see where my knee and dash line up but keeping the back seat and maybe moving it forward a couple inches to see if I can fit a gas tank behind the rear seat I might end up sitting close to that dash.

I tried several gimmer switches, toggle switches, they all burn out in a couple of months.
(might be them 130 watt off road lights).
I bought the same switch as the stock high beam switch. Been working for two years now.
Also might be me smashing them with my boot.

 

3 way toggle switch under the dash on - off- on. That triggers relays out close to the headlights. I still have a regular headlight switch though.
Turn signals are two separate toggle switches on a separate panel (actually a piece of aluminum angle) next to the dimmer switch. Left/right or both for 4 way. My dumb butt never installed turn indicator lights for years though and some times they didn't get turned off.

 

I do plan to run relays so the switch, even if I use a floor switch, will have very little actual load thru it.

If I did a lot of night driving and no floor space, a line lock switch on the floor shifter would make a nice dimmer switch.
