Testing lights on my 68 Satellite and when the light switch is on park mode all running light except headlights are on. When I swich to headlight mode the front bumper yellow lights turn off and obviously the headlight turn on. Does that seem correct on a 68 Satellite or is there something wrong with my switch? One more thing, with the headlights on and the front yellow lights off they still work for turning signaling.

thats is the correct way it should work for a 68

DOT law changed in 69 so the park/turn lights are on when headlights are on IIRC

and your other Q, there's 2 filaments in each bulb, a small one for the above park lights and a brighter one for the turn signals

BTW, switches are the same... the diff is just a jumper wire on harness/plug to keep still working the front parking lights when headlights are on. Switch will be still cuting the power to those, jumper wire jumps that cut
