    High/low beam toggle

    The only toggle I have left that has 2 positions for high and low beam...has 6 small pins(2-rows of 3). My wiring harness has only 3 wires (high beam, low beam, switch) and they have large spade connectors.
    I could split and put 2 connectors on each wire or should I have received a 3 spade 2 position toggle from FFR????
    Thanks!

    I could be wrong, because I did the base kit. But you need a 2 position 3 spade. It is a Single Throw Double Pole switch. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Perhaps they don't provide a switch for the high/low? Some builders use the more traditional foot switch for that purpose. That switch might be for hazard lights?

    the six prong switch is for the flashers. If using the RF harness, you will have 4 wires going to it.

    From left to right: turn signal, hi/lo beam, hazard flasher

    By the way, I ended up using a floor mounted hi/lo beam switch - details in my build thread.

    Correct, I have an early MK4 basic kit and purchased the RF wiring kit from FFR and that switch is for the hazards.

    IF that's the only switch you have left, you can use it (or get another 3 prong type), just wire one side only.
